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

‘Sinking Ship’ by Fleabustiers

The pandemic posed significant challenges, yet it also unveiled unexpected opportunities, as demonstrated by Fleabustiers. This artist collective harnessed the isolation to merge their unique talents into a unified project. The fruits of their labor are songs they can proudly showcase. One of these songs is ‘Sinking Ship,’ a poignant track that comments on society’s current divide with a note of caution. It reflects the tendency to tackle problems in isolation or even to take contrary actions, ultimately leading to the worst possible consequences. 
Musically, we find ourselves in a gentle yet expressive indie pop meets soul environment that occasionally reminds one of the cover ‘Easy’ by Faith No More and radiates a balance between strength and hope on the one hand, and resignation and stagnation on the other. This emotional dualism characterizes the song and makes it something special. Those drawn to such a rich emotional palette will find the album ‘Time Can Wait’ a veritable goldmine. 
This collection showcases the collective’s versatility, featuring other standout tracks like ‘About You,’ ‘Soleil de Plomb,’ ‘Tragic Carpet,’ and ‘Favourite Person.’ To put it succinctly, ‘Time Can Wait’ is an album that demands immediate listening – because in this instance, time indeed will not wait.
