“Place Memory” Is The Epic title track to Highly-anticipated debut album out May 1 on Wanna Hear It Records

We generally agree with the description that Massachusetts based band Cape Crush, is power-emo band . However… when you really stop and dive into the melodically and socially pleasing sounds of Cape Crush, you quickly realize that they have a sound that is truly otherworldly and “Place Memory” showcases this sound front and center.

You can listen to “Place Memory “ on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here

vocalist and guitarist Ali Lipman reflects back on a peaceful day spent with her sister. Together, the two fix up their house, paint it a vibrant shade of blue, and discuss the poetry of Robert Frost before Lipman waves goodbye to her sibling, who then sails out to sea. They wave to each other; Lipman back on the shoreline, and the sister fading from view out on the horizon. 

But that day, in fact, never happened. Instead, it’s part of a daydream journey that was the result of some life choices Lipman made along the way, and how the opposite of those choices can exist in a parallel universe with a sense of calm and comfort guiding the way.  

 “The term ‘Place Memory’ is the supernatural theory that a place can hold an energetic memory,” Lipman says, “like when you hear ghostly footsteps or a disembodied voice, that perhaps you’re not hearing something intelligent, you’re hearing a repeat of that memory played back to you as if on tape. Or maybe you’re hearing your sister on the other side of the veil?” 

An urgent swell of emo, post-hardcore, and alt-rock, with lightning guitar riffs wouldn’t sound out of place on an early-aughts Coheed and Cambria album and saccharine sweet vocals that exude an inviting tone and nature, “Place Memory” continues to thematically shape the album – officially out May 1 on digital, CD, and vinyl – that features it.

Cape Crush, is everything that is good about music they forge a sound and a sense of community with their music that is both inspiring and refreshing. “Place Memory “ is definitely a song you can’t ignore.
