Alternative psych-rock band, Meltt have returned with their new single, “Your Melody” today. The unshakable song showcases a funky guitar groove juxtaposed by a poignant, and powerful subject matter. The track is a soul-stirring tribute to Meltt bassist Ian Winkler’s father, who valiantly battled ALS.
Matt confides, “My dad was in the late stages of his fight with ALS, so it was a very intense time for me. My grandma had also recently died. We were going through her old photo albums, and there was one picture of my dad as a kid. I saw the picture and where he was in the present like, ‘Holy shit, this was his destiny’. I was interested in determinism and physics from a philosophical perspective. Since all of time just exists, we’re playing through it like a song. That’s where ‘Your Melody’ came from. I saw my dad’s song from beginning to end in the picture. The song was born out of a lot of fear, grief, and anger.”
Alongside the new single, Meltt has announced their new album, Eternal Embers, out September 22nd via Nettwerk, featuring “Your Melody,” “Soak My Head,” “Do You Ever Wonder?” and music from their latest EP, Another Quiet Sunday.
