Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic [1] Memories & Dust is the pop rock debut album by Australian singer-songwriter Josh Pyke. It was produced by Wayne Connolly and released in 2007 on the Ivy League Records label.
Reviewer Bernard Zuel described the music as evocative and moving and Pyke as "inventive" and "know[ing] how to construct music and lyrics into a form that is more than the sum of its parts[2] Reviewer Noel Mengel found that the songs had a "logical sequence," "each leading to the next and illuminating those around it." He praised "Someone Else's Town" for its "handsome string arrangement" and "Fed and Watered" as "bright and bouncy."[3] Reviewer Kathy McCabe admired the melody and detail of the lyrics and music and described "Vibrations in Air" as "goose-bumpingly beautiful."[4]
