Phonographic Memory

Phonographic Memory is the first album by the indie pop group The Alice Rose, released November 10, 2006, on Emerald Wood Records. The album was recorded between February and August, 2006, at Congress House Studio in Austin, Texas, with producer Mark Hallman and engineer Ned Stewart. The record's 10 songs, written by the lead vocalist JoDee Purkeypile, draw heavily from 1960s' rock and 1980s' power pop influences.

Shortly after the record's release, the song "West" was named NPR's "Song of the Day" on November 27, 2006. Two years later, the song was used in the soundtrack to the award-winning independent horror film Splinter, directed by Toby Wilkins, released in October 2008.
