Remember Remember was an instrumental ensemble originating from Glasgow, Scotland, active between 2006 and 2015. Their discography includes three studio albums and additional releases under the Rock Action label, which is managed by fellow Glasgow group Mogwai, with whom they also shared touring opportunities.
History
The project began as a solo endeavor by Graeme Ronald, who performed various instruments, incorporating atypical percussion elements such as scissors and cutlery. The 2008 self-titled debut featured contributions from musicians including James Swinburne and James Hamilton of Errors. By the end of 2009, the band had grown to a seven-piece lineup; this expanded group produced the "RR Scorpii" EP in 2010 and followed with the album The Quickening in 2011, which included guest appearances by RM Hubbert.
On 15 May 2014, they revealed plans for their third album, Forgetting the Present, which Rock Action released on 30 June 2014.
In June 2015, Graeme Ronald announced the dissolution of Remember Remember, marking their final live show that same month.
Musical style
Remember Remember's music was entirely instrumental. Ronald highlighted that, in the absence of a vocalist to act as a central focus, the compositions required heightened engagement. Although frequently labeled as post-rock, Ronald stressed that their sound drew from a wider array of instruments than is typical for the guitar-centric style commonly linked to the genre.
