Memory Spells and Jordan Whitlock Unveil Debut Collaborative Album ‘This Is What It Feels Like’



Genre: Dream Pop, Indie Chill, Atmospheric Pop

Similar Artists: Cigarettes After Sex, Mazzy Star, Beach House, Men I Trust, Daughter


Dream pop duo Jordan Whitlock and Matt Bauer of Memory Spells have joined forces to release their debut collaborative album, This Is What It Feels Like.


The album emerges from a unique and modern creative process: all tracks were written and produced remotely, with Whitlock in San Diego and Memory Spells’ Matt Bauer in Los Angeles. The artists only met in person after completing more than half the album, resulting in a collection that captures the tension, intimacy, and connection forged across distance.


This Is What It Feels Like navigates the fragile, defining moments of human relationships. From the quiet ache of “Do You Think of It Sometimes?” to the tidal devotion of “All I See Is You,” and the meditative unfolding of “Bloom,” the album conjures emotional landscapes as vast as oceans and as intimate as private gardens. Airy synths, minimalist guitar, vintage drum machines, and haunting strings intertwine, creating a soundscape that feels simultaneously near and far, a reflection of the collaboration itself. Meanwhile, Whitlock’s crystalline, unguarded vocals weave seamlessly through Memory Spells’ lush dream-pop arrangements, capturing a sense of longing, possibility, and introspection. 


This Is What It Feels Like is a testament to the transformative power of collaboration: two artists finding a shared voice across miles, and discovering in that dialogue a connection that changes everything.


"This album is a rare kind of intimacy, crafted across miles yet brimming with closeness. Memory Spells and Jordan Whitlock have captured the moments between longing and connection, creating a sound that feels like a conversation you can’t forget. This Is What It Feels Like isn’t just a collection of songs, it’s a shared space where distance becomes part of the music, and collaboration transforms into something deeply personal,” notes music publicist Danielle Holian, Decent Music PR.
