Me & Melancholyβs album, βUnder the Cover of Darkness,β pulses fill our eardrums with electrifying music and sensational vocals. Managing the vocals, synths, guitar, and bass by himself, Peter Ehrling brings this 14-track collection to life.
Before we dive into the album, let me drop some names that will help you identify Me & Melancholyβs sound. These influences are notably woven into the album, with echoes of early synth legends like New Order, Depeche Mode, and the Smiths. Then they have Radiohead, Weezer, Smashing Pumpkins, and Bloc Party. You may expect them to unfold throughout the album in soothing ways.
The songs propel the theme of darkness in an urbane aesthetic. Our focus is drawn towards the mystical vocals and lush synths that accompany the electrifying tuning. βJust Like a Dreamβ introduces the artistβs purpose poignantly. The artist gives a touch of nightlife when instruments glisten and evolve over rhythmic grounding beats.
βIsolation,β the seventh track, enters with sharp beats struck while glitzy lines buzz above. The music complements the expressively delivered lyrics with an ambient touch. βNot Even You Can Get Under My Skinβ closes out the album with rippling music steadily swimming with the beats cutting through like rain pelleting down on the water. There is this intimidating touch to his nuanced, rich voice. The artist sings: βI promise you if I donβt let you in/ Not even you can get under my skin.β
βUnder the Cover of Darknessβ pulls you into vibrant pulses and urbane melancholy. Explore the nightly perceptions today by Me & Melancholy, available on Spotify.
