For those uninitiated, Memoryhouse is the bedroom project of Canadians Evan Abeele and Denise Nouvion. Creating some of the most delectably ethereal tunes, the duo puts on ice the chillwave movement — stripping all the glitz and glamor (aka fast moving components) of a Neon Indian or a Washed Out, leaving only the most mellow of mellow parts. This music they create is what sweet dreams are made of.

The first track, and one of my favorites, is the beautifully atmospheric “Lately (Deuxième)”. Listening to the lyrics closely, you’ll find that the track chronicles the thoughts and feelings of someone in a coma (“Lately I’m not sleeping / I’m not breathing / without machines”) and their desire to end it all through their silent shouts of “shut me off”. Although the patient is in purgatory, the music is absolutely heavenly. The second track, entitled Präludium, is a soothing piano ballad with spaced out synths floating around. Constructed “during the heady days of the B.C. (Before Chillwave)” by Abeele before Memoryhouse was formed, the track is certainly the most delicate song I’ve heard in a while.

You can check out both the songs below and, if you dig the tunes, head over to their myspace to download their four-track EP The Years for free. Also, Salad Fork has the group’s most jammed out track “Radium Girls” on his Vertigo mixtape, which I would highly recommend checking out.
