Dayve Hawk (born 1981), better known by his stage name Memory Tapes, is an American singer-songwriter and record producer, and the former frontman of the Philadelphia-based band, Hail Social.
[5] The CD release of Seek Magic[6] was bundled with a four-track bonus disc including a Horrors' remix and a 22-minute instrumental, "Treeship",[7] which could also be downloaded from his website for free.
[citation needed] The music on the album reflected more of a "band" sound than his previous works, and also lacked their reliance on sonic saturation and obfuscation.
[citation needed] Pitchfork described the album as "flat and airless, sucked dry of his typically evocative detailing" and gave it a mixed review, scoring it 6 out of 10.
Memory Tapes' first live performance was in Manchester, England, in January 2010 and he has since played in North America, Europe and Australia.
