WAY WITH ME pulses in diﬀuse emotional vapour.
Abstracted and half-remembered, on the o̖t̖ h̖e̖̗r̖ s̖̗i ̖̗ d̖e̖̗ o̖f̖̗ a̖̗̘ c̖̗a̖̗s̖̗̘̙sette bleeding through
from a hazy dream.
Built around layered and deteriorated tape textures, dark and anachronistic synth-wave
forced through amorphous sci-fi bass pop.

The sound and processes in production are drawn from a memory deep in Cardinal’s
childhood — one of his earliest cassette tapes, from a formative shoe-gaze band,
had become physically warped from a rogue walkman.

At the start of Side B

:: A fragment of the final track from Side A ::
— would always bleed through in reverse.

Twisted, degraded, and slightly-diﬀerent-every-time-and-would
Always-get-stuck-in-the-car-cassette player.
Real didn’t understand what caused it at an untrained age.
But that version — warped, backwards, euphoric — became true.

The only version that mattered.

It was broken, but it was perfect.
It imprinted on him — and nobody else heard it.

It had gravity.

Memory bound by connection through realized nostalgia.

Nostalgia itself, imprinted and actualized as an anachronistic dimension of blending
spaces-times —
Where love and wanting are suspended behind you,
jamming the signal bleed of a song you once knew.
Realities passing in the night.

A collaboration with Alex Reed (Seeming) on vocals

and

Multi-instrumentalist Elijah Hennig on guitar —

that shifts into haunting, fractured territory.

Reed’s lyrics denote evocative, time washed but eerily specific memories — which are then interpreted spatially with Cardinal’s sound design — another frame of reality that warps and fragments around them.

Together they create a sonic palette that stretches from glitchy noir exposition, to 90s pop industrial anthemic plateaus.
Also invoking a world lost in recollection, drowning in detail, and rewinding in loops.
jamming the signal bleed of a song you once knew.
Realities passing in the night

The collaboration was built on Cardinal providing Reed with a loose premise of the albums concept in insolation, and with an instrumental that Cardinal struggled to find his voice in but still wanted to explore.
A blind exploration for all involved.
Cardinal explored several versions of the song with Elijah — letting each versions essence bleed into the one after.

Neuromancer

The second song on MEMORY ECHOES, "LIMINAL ZERO" stutters into frame with pulsing granules of emergent IDM textures, weaving through intense metal flourishes and reverb-soaked dead mall shoegaze mumbles. It blurs at the edges, crumbling under sludge and horror.

LIMINAL ZERO

In the Name of Blood

The One

Computronium

Nothing, I can’t feel nothing at all
No way to score but I’m sure
That I’ll have more
And all of the time 
Spent counting the walls
Nothing, I can’t feel nothing at all

But do you realise
Oh, That you’ve never lied?
But do you realise 
Oh, That you’ve never lied?

I started combing for your hair
Like the last time
Oh! I was never so sure
It’s breathing for the last time

There-
Is somebody walking you to the bathroom?
Is somebody walking you to the bar?
Ah!

I don’t feel nothing at all
I don’t feel nothing at all
Nothing is so far away
But sleeping for the day 
Nothing to see
Nothing to do

NOTHING
