Allie McDonald and Mike Derenzo have been busy music bees these past couple of weeks. As EXES, they’ve released two more ravishing singles, including this one, a supple pop jewel named Memorize that walks the fine line between the soft wistfulness of WET and the ethereal electronic pop of Vallis Alps. Allie says of the charming new single: “I’m a long distance lover. I’m all too familiar with the longing that comes with loving from afar. I wrote memorize with one of my favorite writers, Jome, about a boy I wanted to be next to all the time. I would memorize every moment- the sound of his voice, the way his fingers intertwined with mine. And I would keep those memories close when the distance felt especially heavy.” Aside from Memorize, EXES also recently revealed a dulcet whirring, coruscant glimmering alt/electro pop song named Better Better, which you can stream below. Memorize is out now via Moving Castle. Stream/purchase, here.
