June 7, 2024 - Capping off a string of hit singles, dream-pop London trio Night Tapes unveil their new EP assisted memories via Nettwerk. The seven-track assisted memories features singles including upbeat disco tune “projections,” the meditative “every day is a game,” the rapturously received early 2024 single “loner,” as well as fan favorite “drifting,” released to acclaim late last year and nearing 3M Spotify streams.
Also, on the tracklist are the stunning, trip-hop-influenced “easy time to be alive,” the reverb-soaked, psalm-like “waterfall,” and the cerebral synth adventures of title track “assisted memories.”
"The EP is about honouring and remembering the different versions of ourselves,” says lead singer Iiris Vesik. “These songs were created by capturing artefacts of time on analogue and digital recordings. Each song relates to a memory that includes an understanding that came with changing. Lyrically it's a somewhat emotional organisation of those understandings. As I’ve understood that we humans are forgetful creatures. Those who write history down, access control over the interpretation of their own stories and thus responsibility over their own realities.”
After a 2023 that included the release of their third EP Perfect Kindness last summer, and a tour of the UK and Europe, the band are going from strength to strength with their live show. They have recently announced a spread of new UK dates for this September and have now revealed that their debut US tour is set to follow in November including dates in LA & NYC. assisted memories is another otherworldly Night Tapes project from the ever-evolving South Londoners as they prepare to embark on their next UK tour and first ever US tour this fall.
