“Memory Fades” is a lovely new single from The Winter Sounds. The project caught our ears last month with the Europa EP, and “Memory Fades” continues to showcase a knack for compelling songwriting. Jangly guitars and illuminated twinkling complements a soaring vocal rise, proclaiming “we’re living in a wishing world,” amidst desires to find “the perfect world,” and break free from restraints. Stylistically, there’s a fond likeness to Magnetic Fields in the vocal tone and idiosyncratic pop captivation. “Memory Fades” is another stellar showcase from the project of Patrick Keenan.
