Jamie Harley wraps up 2010 in the same fashion as he started it; with yet another video for Canadian dream-pop duo Memoryhouse. In the same way that Denise Nouvion and Evan Abeele have spent the year developing their sound — with each release growing deeper in texture and confidence — Harley too, has been busy mastering his art. With videos under his belt for Memory Tapes, How To Dress Well, Prizes, ANR, Museum Of Bellas Artes, Lonely Galaxy – not to mention TLOBF luminaries The Forest & The Trees – each clip has revealed Jamie to be a true magician. Re-imagining long lost video footage (and the occasional porno – see Prizes), creating a romantic bond between the artist and the visual – two strangers that never would have met without the master of ceremonies taking charge and sealing their fate in a haze of rich, pastoral colours.
‘Heirloom’ – the b-side lifted from current Memoryhouse single ‘Caregiver’ is arguably Harley’s finest work to date. An artist heading skywards on a heady brew of insomnia and old fashioned romanticism, he is fast becoming the go to guy for timeless shorts such as this. Don’t just take my word for it, head to his archive here.
