The San Francisco 4-piece VANIISH began when singer/guitarist Keven
Tecon (ex Wax Idols, The Soft Moon, Veil Veil Vanish) left his previous
bands after his mother’s death in early 2013. “I was on tour in Eastern
Europe in the middle of winter when it happened and it was too much to
handle. I couldn’t keep it up.” After returning home, Tecon decided to
focus entirely on a new project along with fellow Wax Idols and Veil
Veil Vanish member Amy Rosenoff (bass) and SF music-scene luminaries
Adam Beck (guitar/keyboards) and Nick Ott (drums). The album Memory Work
is both dense and spacious, combining the atmosphere of early 4AD with
the psychedelic shoegaze of Creation Records. It envelopes the listener
into its world of eerie soundscapes and surreal lyrics. “There is an
interesting mix of synths, guitars, samples, drum machines, and live
drums. We like the idea that you can’t tell what’s real and what
isn’t.” The album was produced by Monte Vallier (Weekend, The Soft
Moon, Wax Idols)
The title track is the sound of machines breathing and fluids pumping,
with a pulse beat overladen with brush strokes of synth.
“Kaleidoscoped” ditches the monochrome for crystallized shards of guitar
and a sparkling chorus that’s hard to see coming. “Search and Replace”
is vicious and would be more at home in 2080 than 1980 while the
addictive melody of “Merge” is the closest the album comes to an actual
pop song. “Succession” gives the second side of the album some
breathing room with its sparse production and icy spikes of guitar.
Lush album closer “La foi au fil de l’eau”, sung entirely in French,
could easily find its way onto a film score.
