#15 Album of 2014, Memory Palace by Stone Cold Fox

Memory Palace will always have a soft spot in my heart for being the record I wanted to share with everyone on my blog before the Summer kinda got away from me and my Album a Day project went to shit.

Stone Cold Fox sorta has a Generationals, Foxtrot and Britt Daniel of Spoon kinda feel to it...  this album dropped right before the start of the summer and I remember thinking that this was going to soundtrack my Summer after launching STORIS.

I ended up falling in love and the soundtrack to my summer took another turn...  I kinda wonder what would have happened to this record and how I would think back on it if I listened to it all throughout the summer, fall and winter?   I think it would have influenced me to listen to albums with a similar pop toot sensibility and I think my top 10 would look incredibly different.

This album has amazing potential within it and I suspect I'm going to be hearing deep cuts from it on Movie Soundtracks in the years to come.

Stand out tracks:


    Stone Cold Fox - Memory Palace

    Citizens of Earth... 

    Rollie, transmitting again from his work station in New Braunfels, TX.   Total hours spent in this office over the weekend nearly 23 and counting.

    I think that number will crawl over 27 by the time I climb into my car and drive back for an abbreviated night of rest.

    Moral is a little low at the moment...  we have a number of programing obstacles to clear and they're time consuming.  One of my co-workers has crossed the threshold of feeling sick and is 'full-blown' sick...   I'm fairly certain that I will catch something before hoping on a plane for the Pacific Northwest at the end of the week.

    The best thing to come out of May 18th, 2014 - was my introduction to a band by the name of: Stone Cold Fox.

    A band from (um... unconfirmed)  that sorta remind me of: The Walkmen, Voxtrot, a pinch of Phoenix and the Generationals.

    I haven't really given the album a "critical" listen, but after 3 listens over the weekend - I plunked down 12 bucks on the pre-release (June 3rd) and will soon add it to my 2014 collection pile of Best New Music.
