“FALSE LIGHTS (REPRISE)”
JORDAN WHITLOCK X MEMORY SPELLS
RELEASE DATE: OCT 10, 2025
"Suffused with the lush, shadowy grandeur of Lynch at his most romantic" -Various Small Flames
“False Lights (Reprise)” reimagines a song from Matt Bauer’s 2015 album Dream’s End, weaving coastal folk legends of wreckers luring ships to shore with the personal experience of loss and disillusionment. The imagery of ships dashed against the shoals parallels the heartbreak, broken dreams, and the struggle to find one’s place in the world. With its chamber pop textures and ethereal vocals, the song holds space between beauty and devastation, a meditation on hope, failure, and the fragile desire to belong.
For fans of: Weyes Blood, Julia Holter, Marissa Nadler, Agnes Obel

About Memory Spells:
