Memorial have released their new single ‘Fake Moon’.

The single is taken from the band’s self-titled debut album, due for release on April 29th through Real Kind Records.

Speaking about the new single, Ollie Spalding said: “’Fake Moon’ was written at a time in my life when nothing was going right! I was fully dedicated to writing music for so long that when I stopped and looked around me I realised I was older and more lost than ever.

“Pretty much all my friends were in meaningful and healthy relationships and I was yearning for the same thing, but also felt as though I was too busy to ever hold anything down.

“I was in a rut, just hitting my mid-20s. That’s when the movies and stories say you’ll be settling down and having kids! The pressures of expectation can really drag on young people. It feels there’s such a short window of time to materialise these things or achieve success, that if you don’t feel ready at that moment, it’ll never happen. It’s those circumstances that amount to such a low feeling.

“This song was originally written in a first-person perspective, but we had such a strong feeling of not being alone in this situation and that focusing on the self, takes away from the gravity of the sentiment, so we decided to change it. For people who hear themselves in this song, I really hope it makes you feel less alone. Everyone is different, just keep being yourself and doing what you love!”

A feeling we’ve undoubtedly all experienced at various stages in our life – this single presents a gentle reminder that we’re never alone.

Emotionally encapsulating from the get-go, ‘Fake Moon’ is an intricately stripped-back raw release that will leave you enchanted by its sound.
