Sam Flax / Melted Toys (Album Release!)
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Slim's - Closed
(see times)
After three years of radio silence from San Francisco psychedelic popsters Melted Toys, Underwater Peoples Records is happy to announce their return with the release of their self-titled debut album this summer!
The band consists of longtime pals Stephen Harkins, Daniel Rosado, Brian Wakefield, and Ole Haarstad, and their casual bond laces the new LP with an unpretentious languidness that’s both downcast and serene, while still retaining an uptempo pop feel. The eponymous work is reminiscent of mid-career FELT, where Maurice Deebank’s somber leads colored each and every detail, rather than having just issued showy statements at predictable intervals. Highlights along the Melted Toys LP spark from timely synthesizer voicings as well, mixed in fantastic contrast against the shadowy mid-tones of Wakefield’s bass and Haarstad’s metronomic drums.
