MEMORYHOUSE formed without the intention of becoming a band, but as a creative outlet for the Canadian duo who wanted to create a multimedia art project, pairing Evan Abeele's instrumental compositions with Denise Nouvion's photographs and short films. After spending two years touring Europe and The United States; time which they spent revising and conceptualizing their sound, individually and together, the band released an improved version of their EP 'The Years' in September 2011 on SUB POP. Having been described with a sound similar to BEACH HOUSE, one half of the band Denise Nouvion helps to explain the sound as, "something that could have happened many years ago, but still sounds contemporary". Through experimentation with themes, lyrics and multiple layers of instrumentation, and Nouvion's soft, ethereal voice anchoring the frozen textures of Abeele's compositions with frank sentimentality, the band have taken a unique approach towards humanizing the electro-pop compositions they were originally creating.
