MELODY FIELDS Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Gothenburg psych rockers Melody Fields debuted in 2018 with their self-titled album, and they've taken their time returning for a much-anticipated follow-up. Hot on the heels of 1901, they're back with a fresh idea to explore. As opening track 'Hallelujah' demonstrates, there's as certain Balearic-meets-Madchester influence creeping in to balance out the more trad psych rock stylings in the band, and it's no bad thing. This sense of late night dance energy carries through the album, but don't think they've shirked their rock foundations as collaborators appear from the likes of fellow Swedish heavyweights Goat as well as Fuzz Club Records' Al Lover.
