Today, The Moment of Nightfall’s “Memories Disappear In Echoes” is out on Paisley Shirt Records. Stream the album or order a limited home-duplicated cassette from Bandcamp. You can also check out the video for “December Wind (complete version)” on the PSR YouTube or on Bandcamp.
The Moment of Nightfall features Masato Saito (Pervenche), Yoko Satori (Panny Arcade), Yūji and Tomomi (Red Go-Cart) and Miki Hirose (Ko-kyū, Smokebees and Red Go-Cart).
Their fragile, delicate sound and vocals seem to melt into a mysterious, dark, foggy world. Transcending the indie pop genre, they incorporate elements of ambient and chillwave, creating a sense of mystery and depth that cannot be pinned down to a specific time or place — it could be the late '60s or '80s.
This work is called Memories Disappear in Echoes. In November 2024, Saito recorded a song sketchily on his MTR and shared it with the other band members. Yuji Usui of Red Go-Cart then layered arrangement ideas on top of it, giving the group a new direction. The third track, 'Everyday Rehome', features psychedelic guitar reminiscent of Miki Hirose's krautrock, creating a strong atmosphere. The four songs on the B-side range from dream pop to garage psychedelia, showcasing the group's inaugural use of drum programming. The sixth track is a cover of Brian Eno's 'Taking Tiger Mountain', a staple of Saito's solo work.
