Pulsing with the energy of their hometown New York City, ‘If There’s a Heaven’(out 9/13/24)is the debut album from indie band Melt. The band formed in 2017 and cut their teeth touring on the heels of their viral single “Sour Candy” over weekends in college. Called “one groovy super organism” by NPR, they are known for their ecstatic live set. In 2021, Melt released their‘West Side Highway’ EP and toured nationally, further developing their intuitive connection as players as well as cementing their status as a band to watch.

‘If There’s a Heaven’ presents Melt simultaneously at their most airtight and freewheeling–evoking the raw, communal spirit of Fleetwood Mac as well as the modern, danceable hooks ofMUNA. Recorded live to tape with producer Sam Evian (Big Thief), the eleven tracks spanexistential, feel-good pop (“Plant the Garden”), classic love ballads (“Your Name”) and lush,soulful rockers (“Heaven”). Melt’s debut is ajoyous, timeless soundtrack for coming of age andfinding oneself and one’s community. As emotionally stirring as they are groovy, Melt will movelisteners in every sense of the word.
