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.

The Banquets

Roaring onto the music scene in 2019 with their rambunctious energy and unique blend of country, indie and rock, The Banquets have gone from strength to strength. From humble beginnings, supporting artists such as the South (formerly The Beautiful South) and Toyah Wilcox, as well as winning a place on the Introducing Stage at The Great British Folk Festival, they’ve recently gained the opportunity to play the famous Leeds Brudenell Social Club on a Saturday night and are rapidly building a name around the city.



The Beautiful

Inspiriert von einer Zeile eines Gedichtes von Emily Dickinson, in der es heißt: "Our summer made her light escape into the beautiful" und Gems, ihres Zeichens Leadsängerin der Band, andauerndem Kampf gegen Depressionen zeichnet die Story ein düsteres und nachdenkliches Bild, verbindet zugleich Melancholie und Enthusiasmus. Eine Sinuskurve des Lebens, mit erhöhter Frequenz.
Musikalisch wird experimentiert, String Arrangements und Effekte erzeugen Tiefe, die Bass Line, als Puls der Zeit, führt geschickt die Rhythmussektion, wo die Drums stets bereit sind zu pushen.
Wer glaubt dass hier schon Schluss ist, wird eines besseren belehrt, ein musikalisch gelungenes Experiment wird durch die Vocals in neue Sphären katapultiert um dort die Perfektion zu erlangen. Gems Performance im Zusammenspiel mit Leon, Tom Wallace und Francis Watson ein Schritt in eine andere Dimension. "The Beautiful" by The Banquets or the sound of an other Dimension.
