Description
‘Memory Lanes’ is a sharp and well-knit attack on the senses. The 10 songs never outstay their welcome and have enough hooks
and melodic twist to keep your ears wanting more. It’s an impressive feat for this young 3-piece from Antwerp, Belgium.
Formed in 2018, after years of performing in other bands like Melting Time and Lagüna, Disorientations quickly grew out into a
full-fledged and close-knit group. Lifelong friends Lukas Van Camp (bass), Tomas Serrien (drums) and Niels Elsermans (vocals,
guitar) felt a need to start jamming endlessly as a way to process shared loss experiences.
Their collaborative writing process soon led to songs inspired by the melancholic dark 80s. While combining new wave with more
alternative punk and noise music, their music became characterized by an intense and contemporary cold-blooded sound that
comes to life during their intense and noisy performances. The trio wants to show a raw and compelling face of post-punk by
translating their emotions in a direct musical manner. They muse in a loud and introspective way about life, because for them
musically nothing is without obligation.
‘Memory Lanes’ continues in that melancholic atmosphere of loss and mourning. It confronts the listener with moments of
despair, but the guitar wall of sound, the harsh rhythmic power and the haunting vocals give enough energy to embrace those
inevitable tragic moments of life.
