MY HEAVY MEMORY – Clarity 2020
Release date: Friday, July 17th 2020 I am sure you will feel like being in the 80s and the songs transports this feeling perfectly. Some of the established bands would be very happy if they could have this musical standard today. Some parts of RAINBOW, a little bit of more modern DEEP PURPLE, some hints of EUROPE. MY HEAVY MEMORY are fresh, young, surprising….and nevertheless the feeling is still in the 80s. My personal favourite: “Council fire”!
