Memory Tapes is the recording alias of New Jersey-based Dayve Hawk, former frontman of Philadelphia-based Hail Social. After initially releasing material under the names Memory Cassette and Weird Tapes, his first LP, Seek Magic was released in September 2009.
Memory Tapes was initially associated with the Chillwave music genre but is now seen more as a producer in his own right. Debut album Seek Magic used a lot of dance rhythms and sounds and had touchstones such as New Order and Cocteau Twins. Hawk played everything on his record and used such unusual sounds as a bicycle pump on the track Bicycle and the sound of sneakers on a basketball court on Green Knight.
His second album Player Piano is due for release on July 4th. He is quoted as saying it will be "psychedelic girl group music".
