Meljoann – Squick

Oct 29, 2010, 10:35am

Rare it is that we have a solo female artist excelling so wonderfully in off-beat electro pop in our green isle as Meljoann on her debut album. Marking her out as an exceptional talent, Squick is the debut album followup to the Tour Guide EP , 12 tracks of slightly quirky, futuristic electro pop, inspired by the "skweee" genre popular in Scandinavia. The stripped-back production driven by synths and innovative percussion allows Meljoann’s fantastic R&B-inspired timbre to shine. She knows her way around a good pop hook to boot. This isn't [...]

State vs Out On A Limb report: Funeral Suits, Windings & Meljoann

Jul 19, 2010, 8:28am

Easy Music for Difficult Ears

Friday night saw the fourth State VS. event take place in The Mercantile on Dame Street and it was another fine gig we're delighted to say. Skweeezy electronic funk act Meljoann played one of her first ever gigs with the help of Ed Devane , Kachansi and Red ( Digger ) on various instruments and computers. With the stage already crammed, the band performed in front of the stage speakers leading, unfortunately to low sound problems. What we could here sounded promising - a mix of electronic arrangements, synth wooshes and click-clack beats [...]

State Vs Out on a Limb

Jul 13, 2010, 7:07pm

The wonderful chaps from State Magazine have recently being running a spate of gigs, unhumourlessly titled "State Vs..." whereby they do stuff with eachother that means sound gets played, people go "yay", alcohol gets consumed and some chap called Peter gets taken away in an ambulance to have his stomach pumped (again). In order to facilitate such unholy debauchery, the Mercantile on Dame St has

The label is very much run on a DIY ethos, and aims to continually release innovative, quality recordings that are kept to [...]
