Within an artist’s range, there’s a lot to be said for contrast. You’d be hard pressed to find two more opposite ends of a spectrum than ‘innermost’, Solarstone’s 2025 artist album – and what he’s presenting us with, as the year enters its last quarter.
While ‘innermost’ found Richard at his most musically introspective and lyrically heart-on-sleeve, ‘Memoryland’ flips multiple POVs to run 2025 out with a floor-rushing hit of adrenaline.
As he was writing ‘Memoryland’, Solarstone took inspiration from a single word.
Reality.
The fabric between a long-recollected memory and a lived experience can, at times, begin to diverge. ‘Memoryland’ became the idiom the artist adopted for what lies within that conflicted crack. Not rooted in back-glancing nostalgia, but in what he sees as “the occasional illusion of recall,” the track draws a sonic dreamscape, where remembered and abstract moments begin, inevitably, to intertwine.
Driven by crisp percussion, rolling basslines, and a synthery that’s constantly radiating outwards, ‘Memoryland’ uncannily captures that paradox. Melodic arpeggios rise and fall like reminiscences, while its layered pads and production rhythmics rub at the lines between the actual and the imagined.
Repositioning after ‘innermost’ to point the Solarstone mirror back out at the world, ‘Memoryland’ arrives today through all good sales and streaming channels. Find it here [blackhole.lnk.to/Memoryland]
