Pulsing with the energy of their hometown, New York City, ‘If There’s a
Heaven’ (2024) is the debut album from indie band Melt. Hear the band
simultaneously at their most airtight and freewheeling—evoking the raw,
communal spirit of Fleetwood Mac as well as the modern, danceable
hooks of MUNA. Recorded live to tape with producer Sam Evian (Big
Thief), the eleven tracks span existential, feel-good pop (“Plant the
Garden”), classic love ballads (“Your Name”) and lush, soulful rockers
(“Heaven”). Melt’s debut is a joyous, timeless soundtrack for coming of
age and finding oneself and one’s community.
Melt formed in 2017 and cut their teeth touring on the heels of their viral
single “Sour Candy.” Called “one groovy superorganism” by NPR, the
band’s ecstatic live set has led them to supporting slots with a wide
array of artists from Grouplove, Lawrence, My Morning Jacket, and
Grace Potter.
Back with their first release since ‘If There’s a Heaven,’ the band’s new
single “Stay for the High” is 2025’s “Yellow”—an early aughts
heartbreaker with the edge of a queer rock band.
