Brighton alt-folk duo Memorial release third album Jera through OPIA Community.
Jack Watts and Oliver Spalding created much of the record after questioning their relationship with the music industry, eventually reconnecting with the simpler reasons they began making music together.
Recording sessions in a snowbound Reykjavík setting contributed to the album's intimate atmosphere, while collaboration with pianist and composer Dustin O'Halloran expands its alt-folk palette.
