Memphis, TN-based rock and roll, banging out visions of the future influenced heavily by their regional past.  Big Star-inspired power-pop combines with Stax-era soul, and somehow modern indie rock emerges.  Have a listen.

"A little guitar pyrotechnics is often the saving grace that I need to get into a band or album, and The Perfect Vessels’ new release is a great example of some really great guitar playing and intricate power-pop song-smithery. Aside from being anchored by nice vocal harmonies and even nicer guitar work, the gold is in the details of these songs. The pre-verse set-ups, Farfisa organs, acoustic guitars, and random atmospherics offer a depth of field that really brings the underlying songcraft into focus." – LIVE FROM MEMPHIS

Memphis, TN's Graham Burks writes and records under the name Loose Opinions. In the studio he plays all the instruments, layering vocal harmonies, analog synths, guitars, and drums to create a sound that transports the listener to another place. The studio becomes just another instrument, and the layers swirl around in the sonic equivalent of a saturated photograph.

• A way to rethink and remix your city •

The sounds of this city surround us like water. Their patterns and rhythms make us what we are. ReMix Memphis encourages people to reflect on the noises of their city, and rearrange the sounds of their lives.

Working with Memphis 3.0 planners, and with the generous support of the UrbanArt Commision, Alex Greene collected citizens' input on noise and sound, raising awareness of the Memphis 3.0 project and helping to plan for the coming decades of the city's growth in a creative way. Starting in 2017, in pop up events throughout the city, he surveyed opinions on the  sounds of helicopters, trains, leaf blowers, chatting neighbors, concerts, birds, booming rides, and even the noises of  gardening, all of which he collected in field recordings. Participants also answered the prompt, “The sound of ___ is so Memphis,” with some fascinating results.

Then, Greene made this library of sounds available to diverse Memphis musicians and producers, to mix and mash up with their own musical inventions. The  result was Producer Tracks @ 3.0. 

The album collects sixteen  tracks from music creators all over the city. The result is dreamlike and rich sonic journey, full of echoes any Memphian will recognize. Let these tracks flow by and you'll hear (and imagine) a bit of the drama going on here in the Bluff City.

Now in 2019, ReMix Memphis presents its field recordings in the Pink Palace Museum’s exhibit marking  the Memphis Bicentennial. Concurrently, we present the first album of our city's most  imaginative producers blending concrete sounds we all know with some of their finest work. And we begin the city’s third century — Memphis 3.0 — with more remixing yet to be done.
