The Suitcase Junket makes family memory feel immediate on latest release “Blindside Memory”

On “Blindside Memory,” which The Suitcase Junket addresses to his sister, singer-songwriter Kate Lorenz, the intimacy of something spoken between people who know each other well emerges. A near choral pre-verse lifts the action dramatically before the intimate, grooving guitar-and-vocal passage kicks in. That hearty refrain opens the emotional frame and gives the song a satisfying release. That contrast of hush and fullness makes the writing conversational and deeply felt. “Blindside Memory” is warm and natural, never too polished, keeping the human edges that make a song written for family feel especially immediate and sincere today.
