MEMORIALS share cover of Bill Fay's "Just A Moon"

The rework of "Just A Moon" arrives as part of a cover series celebrating and interpreting the work of the late singer-songwriter, and features contributions from Steve Gunn, Kevin Morby, Julia Jacklin, Mary Lattimore, Hiss Golden Messenger, Jeff Tweedy, Marlon Williams and James Heather. "Just A Moon" is lifted from Fay's "lost" album Tomorrow Tomorrow and Tomorrow, recorded between 1978 and 1980, which was reissued by Dead Oceans in 2024 for the first time in its entirety on vinyl.

Discussing the cover, MEMORIALS share: “We worked on this cover right in the middle of writing our second album All Clouds Bring Not Rain at the start of 2025. While we’d been working on our own song ‘Watching the Moon’, we went through an extensive moment of sharing other great songs with a similar moon forward focus! This Bill fay song was something we’d been listening to a lot, so when the idea to do the cover was discussed with Dead Oceans it was the obvious choice.

"Bill’s version is wonderful, of course, and rather than recreating it, we decided to run with his brilliant song, changing the time signature and reframing it in our world. We recorded it at home and worked quickly! Bill’s songs have a way of saying a lot with very little, deceptively simple but incredibly deep and this is really hard to do well. He is an inspiration in so many ways."
