Glitchy psych-rock and post-punk rockers MELTS are brewing up a storm in their hometown of Dublin and are back with new single ‘Waves Of Wonder’.
Comprising of Robbie Brady, Hugh O’Reilly, Gaz Earle, and Eoin Kenny, MELTS spent the last two years touring their celebrated debut album Maelstrom across Europe, the UK, the US and Ireland.
‘Waves Of Wonder’ is a blast of techno-infused dance beats and ethereal vocals similar to the likes of Interpol. Clattering drums and throbbing synths the track builds to an entourage of instrumentation. It explores how the ripples of human connection can go well beyond a singular relationship.
Vocalist Eoin Kenny explains: “The song Waves of Wonder is about the impact another person can have on how you see the world and experience everything around you.
“How, being in awe of someone can change your relationship with every other part of your life. The creation of a new life and destruction of the old one.”
The single is also the latest taken from the four-piece’s sophomore studio album Field Theory, produced by Gilla Band’s Daniel Fox.
The title takes the scientific term Field Theory, which describes how forces interact and influence particles around them, and applies it to the interactions between people, to the space between all of us, how people interact and affect others around them.
Expanding on the album’s themes, MELTS detail: “Like gravity, we are drawn to and miss people and like light waves, we love people and are loved. We live in orbits of each other, drawn by unseen forces.
“The album explores these forces, how we relate to each other, the people we live with and the people we live without. At the heart of Field Theory lies the realisation that we inhabit each other’s worlds as much as our own, through a field of wide-ranging forces, as important as the ones keeping the planets in place.”
