Mar 24, 2015 By Mike Hilleary Memory Tapes

Dayve Hawk, aka Memory Tapes, has announced the release of a brand new digital single featuring two new tracks, “Fallout” and “House on Fire,” the first of which has been shared online.

Back in 2012 the chillwave artist delivered his most recent LP Grace/Confusion. In the wake of the record’s release however, Hawk had a number of personal and professional relationships come to end. “I felt pressure to not collapse under my own insecurity with the situation,” Hawk says in a press release. “But with my second daughter becoming a toddler, I’ve found balancing the relationship between my work and my life increasingly difficult. It’s made me question the self-indulgent nature of my music. At a particularly low moment I trashed the entire album I had spent much of the past year working on.”

Releasing the new tracks on March 31 Hawk says, “I feel like it’s important to just do something and get it out. I’m trying to transition out of my hyper-introverted life.”
