The Slideshow Effect

Too often the album floats by in a wash of grays that almost cries for more pretentious conceptualism, if for no other reason than to liven things up.

Despite the leaps and bounds that this effort makes songwriting wise, it just feels less unique than it did before.

They’re a strong band musically, and The Slideshow Effect is a good, well put together piece of work which creeps up on you slowly.

The Slideshow Effect is a more polished product with generally more variety in style throughout.

 they are not necessarily bringing us to a different world, but casting a radiance on the world we already know, exploring a sense of wonder about the everyday. 

On The Slideshow Effect, Memoryhouse strips away the full production, lets the vocals rise to the front, and lets their songs do the talking.

Memoryhouse have a ways to go before they're creating music with as much melodic power or depth of feeling as their dream-pop contemporaries.
