Description:

Solo project by NY-based ROBERT TOHER, first album in 4 years! PUBLIC MEMORY is a solo project by ROBERT TOHER, whose vocals are bursting with beauty while creating a sense of immersion with shimmering electronica and minimalist compositions. The latest release, "RIPPED APPARITION", after a four-year interval, gives the impression of a lightening of the weight of the music from its previous heavy style, as heard in the public track "Epigone". The combination of repetitive synths like flashing signals, which can be called the royal road of electronica, and Thom Yorke's slightly high-pitched beautiful voice, which sings lightly, is quite fresh! The combination of repetitive synths like flashing signals, which can be called the king of electronica, and Thom Yorke's slightly high-pitched beautiful voice singing lightly is quite fresh! And the match on the jacket means "shaking" visually...? This is a work that should resonate not only with Thom Yorke and Radiohead, but also with THE XX and FOUR TET fans!Paul Heaton of The Housemartins / The Beautiful South and Jacqui Abbott, lead vocalist of The Beautiful South, have formed a duo unit, and this is their 4th album in 3 years. Producer John Williams, a longtime friend of Heaton's from his first band, the Housemartins, and from all three of the duo's albums, continues to work with Heaton on this album, which was recorded at Blueprint Studios in Salford, Manchester. Heaton, who has been based in Manchester for the past 17 years, has been lamenting the city's recent metropolitanization and has expressed his opposition to the city's "big city" mentality. 2LPs
