You will recall Dayve Hawk (previously known as Memory Cassette and Weird Tapes) got his aliases mixed up in the summer with the Memory Tapes single ‘Bicycle’ (see review HERE). Since then, the track turned up on the end of year indie-disco Kitsuné Maison 8 on the specialist label Kitsuné Music (along with other 2010 muilti-tipped big ‘uns like Delphic and Chew Lips) and slipped out the debut album Seek Magic that’s seen him in even more demand on the remix front.

The original version of ‘Graphics’ has been trimmed down by 3 minutes for the single release so it’s more ‘radio friendly’ as it’s already had plays on Radio 1, Radio 2, Xfm, 6Music and NME Radio.

It’s another interesting mix of indie rock, cosmic synth pop, go-go and psych nu-disco and the live version should be a real treat. Further dates to be announced but here’s what’s on offer so far:

Live Dates:
16th January - The Corner, Manchester www.ticketweb.co.uk
19th January - The Social, London (Ill Fit) with Lisa (The Concretes) DJ Set Free
20th January - Luminaire, London (with Fitness Club Fiasco + SIC Djs) SOLD OUT

If you missed out on the album first time around, the good news is that it’s going to be re-issued in early February together with an exclusive 48 minute 4 track CD2 through Urban Outfitters and digitally exclusively via ITunes.
