The Lovely Eggs deliver a perfect fusion of krautrock and indiepop with “Memory Man.” The music video has all the strangeness and shifting colors and entrancing art one would expect had Broadcast, Ladytron and Stereolab collaborated on a track. Visually it pairs well with the music with a collage of styles that mutually reinforce for a memorable aesthetic that commands your attention. The lead vocal melody sounds like something coming to us from an outer space transmission and the backing vocals like those of a robot repeating the title of the song. Maybe the guitar pedal of the same name is used on the song but its production is more straightforward with the songwriting providing the weirdness—always a solid creative choice. But however the song was recorded and with what instrumentation it has a propulsive energy in which it is easy to get swept up within to the end.
