Memory Tapes Grace/Confusion

The essence of Dayve Hawk's music as Memory Tapes is the exploration of dance music as a medium more experimental than pop melodies and programmed beats. With his third album, Grace/Confusion, Hawk builds on this mission to craft his most ambitious album to date. "I've always explained Memory Tapes as pop music as field recordings." says Hawk about Grace/Confusion. "I decided to showcase a kind of chaotic reaching. I don't think the record is flat-out shooting in all directions though, because I kept trying to reign it in as much as I embraced it. That's why I called it Grace/Confusion." Hawk's third release channels this chaos in his multifaceted pop music, dipping into disco and krautrock sounds while playing with traditional song structure to craft extended mixes. With all the album's intricacies and vision,Grace/Confusion inhabits more the title's first word than the last, showcasing an artist embracing his idiosyncrasies and constructing beauty from chaos.
