Anglo\/American\/Australian collective Memory Drawings unknowingly began work on its fourth album, A Few Scattered Hours,<\/em> during its spring 2018 tour of the UK and Spain, even if a majority of the tracks weren\u2019t written until Joel Hanson returned to the US with a hammered dulcimer that he had left under bandmate (former Hood founder) Richard Adams\u2019 guest room bed for the previous decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nevertheless, the concept of the record began to take shape long before these 11 tracks were finished. Due to time constraints and the vast geographical distance between band members, Memory Drawings has always written music in short bursts of creativity, whenever a few scattered hours were available for Joel and Richard to make music in the same room together. However, the record title is also an indirect indictment of life in early 21st-century, neo-liberal America, where increasing numbers of people are consumed by the relentless necessity of fulfilling economic imperatives, leaving fewer and fewer hours to focus on the spiritual\/artistic pursuits that make life worth living. A Few Scattered Hours<\/em> is the band\u2019s sonic antidote to this loss of personal autonomy, a reminder that other worlds\u2014more compassionate and beautiful\u2014are still possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
