“Now that’s what I call funeral music!”
Memorial may come as a surprise to Tonesucker fans, since Steven Elsey’s solo effort is more expansive than abrasive. The album, comprised of three extended tracks, is an homage to Steven’s father.

The track titles may refer to the period of intense mourning, but the full album tackles a much longer period.
