Réal Cardinal and Alex Reed, both artists who haven’t released new albums in over five years, are set to collaborate on a single titled "The Less You Know," alongside Comaduster’s "Way with Me." This two-track offering is part of the upcoming album Memory Echoes, exploring themes of loss, trauma, and identity after a cosmic event. The single was released on July 4 and is available on Bandcamp, with Memory Echoes scheduled for August 14. This marks a significant return for both artists, with Cardinal last heard from in 2019 and Reed in 2020.
Given the deep, thematic content surrounding loss and identity in their upcoming works, how do you think their personal experiences during the past five years have influenced the narratives they are creating?
