‘Field Theory’ is the highly-anticipated second studio album from Dublin’s own MELTS, set to release on April 12th, 2024, through Fuzz Club. This dynamic collection, recorded live to tape at Black Mountain Studios in Summer 2023 and produced by Daniel Fox of Gilla Band fame, showcases an exhilarating blend of electronic psych-rock.
The album resonates with powerful motorik synth lines, layered guitars, and the captivating vocals of frontman Eoin Kenny. While their acclaimed 2022 debut, ‘Maelstrom,’ examined broader societal forces, ‘Field Theory’ dives into the intimate connections that shape our interactions. The title draws inspiration from the scientific concept of ‘Field Theory,’ highlighting how people influence one another, akin to unseen forces in nature.
MELTS beautifully articulates, “We are drawn to and miss people like gravity; we love and are loved like light waves.” The album intricately explores how we navigate the orbits of our lives, underscoring our impact on each other’s worlds, much like the forces that hold our universe in place. With members Robbie Brady (Organ and Synth), Hugh O’Reilly (Guitar), Gaz Earle (Drums), and Eoin Kenny (Lead Vocals), MELTS have made waves on stages across Europe, the UK, the US, and Ireland, captivating audiences at festivals such as Wide Awake and SXSW.
Join the journey with ‘Field Theory’ and immerse yourself in one of the best indie music albums of 2024. Don’t miss your chance to buy psych-rock vinyl records that resonate with depth and emotion.
