Derek has a CD player in his car. He kept spinning the same CD every time he drove me places. He told me that these were the songs that were constantly stuck in his head. Since it was the same CD over and over again, I volunteered to make him a new CD with the songs that are constantly stuck in my head. He thought that was a good idea because his sister allegedly makes him listen to very bad music sometimes. This CD was only semi-hard work because I had to hunt down the MP3s [...]
Melpo Mene 's gentle guitar plucking doesn't usually move me, though I do appreciate the quiet dreaminess of "Kling klang clock" , a song that befits the title. No guitars until the end, just gentle harp-like pedal tones and subtly creepy xylophone, especially on the chorus. There's something in the melody of those ascending chimes that's totally unsettling; it's just the right balance of blue notes and pretty melody, like a pleasant dream about to turn nightmare. The key is that is never really does turn that corner though, it just leaves you with a vague suspicion that all [...]

DAY SIXTEEN. En bateau !... cette balade suédoise fera sans doute chavirer quelques coeurs, enverra par dessus bord quelques émotions faciles... puis illustrera sans doute, très bientôt, des spots publicitaires d'annonceurs "Banque-assurances" pour montrer à quel point la vie peut-être riche, douce et longue... Mais pour le moment, voguez, jolis coeurs... [Download MP3] : ••• Melpo Mene :: I Adore You* ••• Lien 2 // Alt Link Illustration : ©Pierre Soulages - Peinture "Outrenoir". *(Si ce [...]

Sometimes we BTW a band and never hear anything worth mentioning again. And sometimes we BTW a band and that band is Fight Bite. The Denton, TX duo have finished work on a gorgeous set of ten tunes, collectively titled Emerald Eyes , to be self-released this October. Our first mention went deep with references -- from the best of Slumberland and Parasol, to the Mag Fields before Stephin started singing, even roping in Orange Cake Mix and the Ropers to the mix. Fight Bight (Leanne Macomber and Jeff Louis) only had a few demos [...]

Occasionally we stumble across something awesome in our inboxes. Swedish musician Erik Mattiasson heads up a group called Melpo Mene; while we can only imagine how it is supposed to be pronounced, we can decipher than they create beautiful music. The band has a full length coming out in August titled Bring The Lions Out , and you can hear a sample of it via the download we are hosting for "I Adore You." That's about all we know about Melpo Mene, but we are looking forward to finding out (and sharing) more soon. [...]

by BrooklynVegan Mike DOWNLOAD: Melpo Mene - Hello Benjamin (MP3) DOWNLOAD: Melpo Mene - Good With The Mothers (MP3) When I was offered the opportunity to do a monthly spotlight on a band that I think deserves to be heard, I knew immediately who I would present. A couple months back, I was youtubin' and stumbled on a video from a Swedish band that combined gentle acoustic folk with an electronic pulse that's hella [...]
