Details
[Edit]Once upon a time in the '90s, the brothers Faler were the central nervous system of math rock band Philo Beddow, a name that is still spoken in reverential, hushed tones throughout hardcore scenes in the present-day Midwest. By the time the band's final recordings were released on the failed The First Time label in 2003 (Philo had long ceased to exist by then), Wayne and Bill Faler were already onto something new beyond anything they had done before. Thus Modern Memory were born, with the Falers shedding the harder-edged math rock and metal influences and bringing to the forefront their more melodic influences like the Sea and Cake and Blonde Redhead. Modern Memory's debut, Fraction of the First, is a 12-song set that gently rides their influences without driving them into the ground — staying fresh without becoming formulaic (though the jangly melodic guitar riffs that open nearly every song can get irksome at times) and taking painstaking care not to emulate any one band entirely. The band layers textures and electronics that give the compositions density, while drummer Jeremiah James and bassist Tambi Haron do their best as a rhythm section to keep the band from floating into the ether of feedback and textures. There's a surprise with every song, and Modern Memory have created a thoughtful, dynamic, fresh, and inspiring album that will appease even the staunchest of post-rock purists.
