Memory Loss is the second album for excellent Brisbane shoegaze outfit Local Authority, the follow-up to their rad debut Negative Space (2019).
Local Authority are Jacque McGill (guitars/vocals), Erica Sunnex (bass/vocals), Talia Bond (drums/percussion), and Kailan O’Dell (synthesisers). In a music scene that is consistently growing and evolving in Brisbane, they have cemented themselves as stand outs for years now.
Whilst a refreshing approach to modern shoegaze, their live shows reign true to the more traditional tropes of loud, exploding amps, driving bass, and heavy, yet tucked away drums, similar to bands such as The Cure, my bloody valentine, and Slowdive. The album was recorded and mixed by Chris Brownbill between August and September 2023 at Underground Audio, Nundah.
