A standout record on a Friday evening. A Folk tinged album with a pair of voices dovetailing together over traditional instruments. Redsetter by Memorial is a record that doesn't settle on easy solutions but asks plenty of valid and interesting questions..
Ollie Spalding and Jack Watts are Memorial 'Kings of Convenience meets Simon & Garfunkel at their harmonious best.' in the words of 6 Music DJ Chris Hawkins. It's not really a description that suits Redsetter fully, but points you in the right direction perhaps.
The way Spalding and Watts voices work together and drive this forward is a crucial factor in the substantial appeal of the record. It's a good one to listen to first thing the morning, last thing at night. And one I'm sure that's will repay return visits
