Who Would Believe Us? is a score for a movie that doesn’t exist.
A girl saving a drowning tiger in an empty zoo at night. Fireflies lighting up and abandoned subdivision. A metal cloud on the horizon, beautiful and terrifying. A dream mistaken for a memory.

About Memory Spells:
A new project from producer and songwriter Matt Bauer, Memory Spells takes the orchestral leanings of his later indie folk records further in the direction of his love of contemporary tv, film, and video game scores, cinematic post rock, early post punk, and 80’s film music.
Memory Spells can be heard on Vice on Showtime (Carrion Crawler, Thin Places) and Netflix’s Lucifer (Can't Hold Me Down). Bauer’s other songwriting and production work have been featured on HBO, Showtime, ABC, CBS, The CW, and in ads for Barney’s, Canada Goose, and West Elm, among others.
His past folk records received praise from Time Out New York, Paste, New York Magazine, Daytrotter, Under The Radar, Les Inrockuptibles and more.
"Matt Bauer conjures a warm yet slightly eerie mood with his banjo driven alt folk. The Greenpoint-via-Kentucky folkster has a gorgeous whispery way with a song."- Time Out New York
"Brilliant" - New York Magazine
