New single from Space Memory Effect

Coming out of Washington State, Space Memory Effect is the artistic banner of singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Amy Susan Wallace. A project born from emotion, surrealism and expansive sonic vision, Space Memory Effect forms in the overlap between dream and reality, bringing together alternative pop and rock into something engrossing and cinematic.

Working remotely with Canadian producer Trevor Lewington, Amy has been crafting a sound that’s at once profoundly personal and otherworldly, resulting in a musical output that feels like an echo from another time. First introduced to the world in April 2023 with her debut single “Love Doesn’t Care,” Amy quickly marked herself as a must watch artist on the rise.

That first release opened a window into her developing sonic world and it instantly struck a chord with listeners. Since then, Space Memory Effect has released a string of singles, the debut album One Thing More, and the ambitious Lullaby Fortune Sweet Dreams project, a 16-track series that revealed her flair for creating immersive, emotionally compelling art. Together, these releases have earned her over a million Spotify streams, a growing international following and a reputation as an artist with both vision and talent.

Now, Space Memory Effect opens her next chapter with her latest release titled “Blue,” a song that marks both an ending and a beginning. Originally penned back in 2019, “Blue” was the first co-written piece between Amy and Trevor Lewington, a collaboration that began as a mentorship but blossomed into a prolific and fruitful creative partnership. Years later, after the song had gathered emotional dust and distance, the two revisited it and finished what they started, resulting in a warm, reflective pop-tinged rock outing that captures the ache of time passed and the beauty of finally coming home to yourself.

“Blue” also serves as the first entry in Space Memory Effect’s third album cycle, From Here I Dream, offering the first taste of the project’s developing musical story. Opened by the laid back strums of guitar chords and patter of drums, the song casts an absorbing soundscape that flows with graceful melodies carrying heartfelt lyricism. Amy’s ethereal vocals and delicate keyboard work sit at the centre of the song’s arrangement, surrounded by Trevor’s intricate guitars, bass and backing harmonies to form a truly charming listening experience.

Reaching a dazzling chorus, Amy’s silky voice glides above the twang of jangly guitar notes to deliver an enchanting sound that’s impossible not to love. It’s a stunning showcase of Space Memory Effect’s enduring songwriting and performance talent, offering a magical musical moment that’s sure to delight new and existing fans alike. With her upcoming full-length record on the way, we can’t wait to see what this exciting artist has in store next on her stellar musical voyage.
