Memorials, a duo of Verity Susman (Electrelane) and Matthew Simms (Wire), has announced the upcoming release of All Clouds Bring Not Rain, due out March 27 via Fire Records.

The album was recorded in a secluded barn studio in southwestern France and is described as "both melodic and unconventional."

The band spent 2025 composing a soundtrack for a Kate Bush documentary, then recording the album, and then touring the US with Stereolab.

They will release the new album in 2026, followed by European tour dates.
