Memory Rounds is a new project out of LA from Ryan Kirkpatrick, formerly of Just An Animal, and ex-Cold War Kids drummer Matt Aviero. The pair intially teamed up two years ago during respective moments of musical transition after Aviero heard Kirkpatrick's solo recordings. They recently self-released their debut album, Time Runs Low, with LA production and session stalwart Gus Seyffert (The Black Keys, Beck), with Edmonton pysch-pop hero Calvin Love on guitar.

Single "Everywhere Never" captures the record's shadowy spirit, moody and isolated and laden with addictive hooks fleshed out by Kirkpatrick's hazy, sultry vocals. It gives you a sense of what the Aughts post-punk movement might've sounded like if everyone stopped trying to sound like Ian Curtis and got a little more unhinged.

Here's what Kirkpatrick has to say about it:

"'Everywhere Never' is about the unconscious inheritance of expectation, and how that colors our perception of time, and restricts our movement. I've become more aware of how when the passing of life seems incongruent with the amount of time that's passed on a clock, it is usually rooted in my unconscious expectations: what I deserve, don't deserve, my worth. And conversely, when I find myself in synchronicity, I'm able to separate myself, at least a little, from any human valuation of who I am."

Check out the premiere of the "Everywhere Never" video, directed by Aviero and Tim Cahill, below.
