Electro-Pop’s Poet of Pain: Me & Melancholy Releases ‘Tears In The Rain’

‘Tears In The Rain’  by  Me & Melancholy Whenever there’s a new release from Me & Melancholy , it fills us with anticipation. This time, the artist paints a compelling portrait of human vulnerability and the complexity of interpersonal relationships.  ‘Tears In The Rain’ succeeds in capturing the essence of ephemeral beauty and the pain of the inevitable, expressing it through music. The dynamics of estrangement, articulated in the lines ‘I’m not able to reach you ’ and ‘ the more I try, the further I push you away ’, reflect a tragic irony. It feels like a dance of approach and withdrawal, prompting listeners to contemplate the paradoxes that often occur in our most intimate relationships.  The artist’s signature melancholic tone conveys a plea for acceptance and an attempt to bridge the gap created by misunderstandings and hurt feelings. Musically, Peter Ehrling navigates familiar territory, once again leveraging it to his advantage by capturing the emotional depth.   ‘Tears

"Change your mind" by Hybrid Kid

Hybrid Kid

Hybrid Kid

Hybrid Kid are an indie-rock 3-piece guitar band based in Brighton UK. They have been playing live for a number of years in various guises in the US and UK and have received airplay on Xfm, BBC 6Music, Radio Reverb and many college radio stations worldwide, and can’t wait to get recording and gigging again very soon!

The enthusiasm and energy of Hybrid Kid is an extension of three wayward personalities:
Danny (Guitar/ Vocals),
Tim (bass) and
Fabio (drums) 
bring a dynamic and experimental edge to this band of rock’n’roll travellers. 

Influences include Pavement, Interpol, and Pixies among others. Danny is a founder member of the band and it’s very much his passion project. Tim has played in a number of bands including 90s punky rockabilly group John Wayne Army.



Change your mind

Heute verschlägt es uns nach Brighton,UK und der dort ansässigen Band Hybrid Kid, welche gerade eben, sprich heute am Freitag dem 18.März, ihre neueste "Scheibe" auf den Markt bringt. "Change your mind" nennt sich der gelungene Track des Indie Rock Trios der zu überzeugen weiß. "... a love song that's a bit hippy and ethereal ...", beschreiben sie den Song selbst. 
Die musikalische Inspiration zu Beginn steht ganz im Zeichen des spanischen Gitarrenunterrichts die Danny, Sänger und Gitarrist der Band, früher genossen hatte und sorgt für den perfekten Einstieg. Mit dem Einsatz der Vocals und der ausgereiften Instrumentierung beeindrucken sie quasi von Takt zu Takt mehr. Zug um Zug bauen sie "Change your mind" aus und halten die Spannung aufrecht, einerseits durch die Drums, die sich hier als sehr wichtiger Part im Background entwickeln, andererseits natürlich durch die exquisit kreierte Soundlandschaft die in Verbindung mit dem Bass das Hörerlebnis enorm erweitern. Signiert wird dieses wunderbare "Indie-Kunstwerk" durch die Vocals, welche dem Song dann schlussendlich den Stempel der Perfektion aufdrücken. "Change your mind", a diamond cutted by Hybrid Kid.



Q&A

Hybrid Kid are...?

Danny Lloyd - Guitar/vox
Tim Sanpher - Bass
Fabio Sclafani - Drums


Who inspired you to make music in general?

Lots of classic rock bands like Led Zep, Pink Floyd and also 90s bands like Pavement, Radiohead. Guitar heavy stuff with hopefully not too much noodling.


What's the story behind your latest release "Change your mind", respectively what or who was your inspiration?

I used to have Spanish guitar lessons so I think some of that comes through on this one. It's all delicate finger-picking which goes with the delicate lyrics, a love song that's a bit hippy and ethereal


What is your creative process like?

I usually get up early morning and drive up the hill to play guitar in the car watching the sunrise and if the guys think it's any good then we turn it into a song


What's the most significant difference, if you compare your first single with the latest release?

We're a heck of a lot more jaded now


What's your most useful talent besides music?

I cook a mean curry


As a band, I guess, you prefer to play live, or are you one of those bands who loves to be in the studio?

Live is all nervous energy and excitement and you never know how it's gonna go whereas the studio can be a lot of sitting around watching somebody else pushing buttons.


Do you remember your first ever self-written song?

No way. I'm sure it's been buried way deep it was so terrible


What’s next for you?

Bigger and better gigs please, we're smokin' hot live right now
