Memory Foam Reveal Debut LP ‘Steel Magnolias’

Once described by Under The Radar as a “non-stop barrage of catchy hooks and face melting psych guitar solos”, Tāmaki Makaurau’s Memory Foam unleash their debut album Steel Magnolias, a no holds barred sonic celebration. The 9-track LP, co-produced by Mike Logie (The Mint Chicks) is packed with Yuko Miyoshi’s schizophrenic, absurdist lyricism, that plays as sparring partner to Sam Moore’s mind-bending guitar lines, creating a high-impact, blisteringly cerebral attack of a record.

The five-piece guitar/synth post-punk outfit made up of Yuko Miyoshi, Samuel Moore, Samantha Webb, Sinisha Milkovic and Guy Innes, were founded in 2019 by Auckland DIY stalwart Samuel Moore, and have been gaining momentum ever since, serving up intense performances alongside acts Die! Die! Die!, Upper Hutt Posse, Wax Chattels and more.

Having garnered attention in the international indie-blogosphere and becoming firm favourites on student radio across Aotearoa New Zealand in 2021, Memory Foam’s untamable, noisy, ferocious album is available for purchase from Flying Out from Thursday June 9th, 2022, via 1:12 Records.
