Memory is malleable – mutability defines the unanswerable in this song released in a new Tulipomania album inspired by an invitation to work with author Jeff VanderMeer as part of the publication of the fourth book in the acclaimed Southern Reach series titled Absolution.

Spomin je gnetljiv - njegova spremenljivost opredeljuje neodgovorljivo v pričujoči pesmi z novega albuma skupine Tulipomania, ki je ga je navdihnilo povabilo pisatelja Jeffa VanderMeerja k sodelovanju ob izidu četrte knjige iz priznane serije romanov Južno območje z naslovom Odveza.

Tulipomania

has alternately been categorized as ‘cult synth punks,' ‘glam-leaning,' ‘postpunk,' ‘art-rock' and ‘muscular chamber pop.' While band members Tom Murray (lead vocals, bass, percussion) and Cheryl Gelover (synthesizer, background vocals) enjoy deciphering efforts to categorize their sound, they decline to offer a specific label of their own. The two first met in Art school, and found themselves collaborating on projects for Experimental Film and Animation classes – Tulipomania grew along with those experiences. Described as “artistic and inventive” and “gorgeous,” music videos created by Tulipomania have been featured in film festivals worldwide, including the London Short Film Festival (England), Leeds International Film Festival (England), Aesthetica Short Film Festival (York, England), Encounters (Bristol,England), Zubroffka (Poland), AniFilm (Liberec, Czech Republic) and StopTrik (Slovenia, Poland). A complete list of festival screenings is available on request.
