Open edition
Colin Self shares "Busy walks into The Memory Palace,” the latest single from their forthcoming album respite ∞ levity for the nameless ghost in crisis. The track picks up where the double single “gajo” b/w “Doll Park Doll Park” left off; dance music for corporeal forms that don’t yet exist, making Self a different kind of time traveler, the track primed to be played thousands of years hence.
The track is sung through the voice of Busy Adams, a character from the opera Tip The Ivy, which Colin co-wrote with artist Bully Fae. “A memory palace is a kind of inner-mind architecture used as a mnemonic device to recollect detailed memories,” says Self. "In the inter-dimensional travel of the record, the listener is pulled through dimensions to find Busy within The Memory Palace, haunted by a group of deceased drag queens. They introduce him to Polari, a criminal queer slang, and recite a protection spell from the opera called Preamble of Names.”
