Heavy Salad has today released their new single titled ‘Memories’. Another song about ‘Memories’. Great. We’re all very brave today.
Fortunately, Heavy Salad don’t wallow. ‘Memories’ shows up, plugs in, and gets on with it. The guitars shimmer with just enough grit to feel earned, not nostalgic-by-design. No shoegaze fog. No ironic lo-fi cosplay. Just bright, restless noise that sounds like it wants to be played live in a room that smells faintly like spilled beer and toner ink.
This isn’t nostalgia as a lifestyle brand. It’s more like stumbling across an old note in your pocket and realizing you still remember why you wrote it, even if you’d rather not admit that out loud. The song never pauses to reflect, which feels intentional. Reflection is overrated. Momentum is better.
The vocals don’t oversell anything. No dramatic sighs. No ‘this is the emotional part’ signposting. They sit right in the mix, doing their job, trusting you to keep up. Bold move. Respectable.
Clocking in and clocking out without ceremony, ‘Memories’ refuses to turn itself into a moment. There’s no big ending, no grand payoff, no desperate grab for significance. It just leaves. Like a band loading out before you get the chance to overthink whether you liked them or not.
Burn it to a CD. Slap the track name on a folded xerox sleeve. Play it once, then again, then accidentally remember where you were when you first heard it.
Annoying how well that works.
