On the 22nd July Melotone will be hosting their EP launch at Crofters Rights, with support from t l k, Rossana and Bethany Ley. Join us for a night of music from some of Bristol's finest alternative artists.

Melotone
Melotone are a psych-jazz band from the Black Country, more interested in texture and ambience than ego. They draw inspiration from '60s psychedelia, namely the jazz-infused Tropicalia movement, with lulling guitar play and hypnotic vocals that float freely into Portuguese. Sometimes drifting into the realms of folk, jazz, and soul, Melotone are a truly global band despite humble beginnings, channelling instrumental pioneers Khurangbin and Kikagaku Moyu with vocals that resemble the arresting style of singers like Jeff Buckley and Brittany Howard, and at times the spirit of Portuguese-English singing Caetano Veloso. 'And... Beyond' is their debut EP, releasing 21st July on Think Twice Records.
