MEMORY Drawings launch their new album, Music For Another Loss, on its day of release at The Basement, City Screen, York, on Monday night.

The 8pm gig has been organised by Let's Go Baboon, a York promotion company set up by Stuart Gibb after he moved from London last year.

He presented MJ Hibbett And The Validators at The Basement in April and now returns with the beguiling instrumental project Memory Drawings, whose guitarist and multi-instrumentalist, Richard Adams, lives in York.

Adams is joined in the line-up by fellow former Hood member Gareth S Brown, Lanterns On The Lake and Brave Timbers violinist Sarah Kemp and dulcimer player Joel Hanson, who was raised in Minneapolis and now lives in Morocco.

Adams, whose musical map includes being the front man of Declining Winter, had some success with Hood in the alternative music scene in the 1990s and 2000s on Domino Records, home to Arctic Monkeys and Franz Ferdinand.

Now his focus is on Memory Drawings. "They've been described as combining Talk Talk atmospherics with chamber folk and fit neatly to a rural Yorkshire sound," says promoter Stuart Gibb.

New album Music For Another Loss will be available on Hiberbate Records from Monday. Tickets for that night's York gig are on sale online at thebasementyork.co.uk, on 0871 902 5726 and on the door.
