Mike Silver aka CFCF, has announced his his new album Memoryland, will be a self-released full-length, and will drop on April 9th. Today, CFCF unveils two new cuts today, including the wonderful new single “Heaven” featuring Kero Kero Bonito’s Sarah Bonito.

“Memoryland is an homage to CFCF’s formative listening years from 1997-2000. Combining jungle, house, UK garage, trance, pop, and post-grunge, Memoryland whisks us back to a time when Electronica reigned supreme and the internet was an infant. It’s an album where Sonic Youth and Smashing Pumpkins meet Basement Jaxx and the Chemical Brothers, creating a Y2K period piece that both celebrates and criticizes our own nostalgic impulses. The album also features vocals from No Joy.”

CFCF on Memoryland:

“I was feeling fatigued by an overabundance of ‘calming’, productivity-oriented music, and wanted to explore something angsty, messy, and dark, while also applying a pop sheen. I see a loose narrative across the album: your early 20’s, a new city, new people, new temptations and new traps. Losing your sense of self to the whims of your surroundings and trends in music and fashion; the wrong people, and trying to dig yourself out of that hole. There’s a hope of moving forward that glimmers in the last quarter of the album, but it’s out of reach and seems to come at a price. And then the looking back on it later with perspective; or the looking forward to it before with anticipation. As a kid I couldn’t wait to be in my 20’s; in my 30’s it’s bittersweet to look back. That’s the core of memoryland: the gulf between the fantasy, the reality, and the memory, and how we live inside each of those at different points.”
