about

Mystery and grace. Warmth and radiance. Melona comes like a deep embrace. Arms wrapped around you; holding on.

Over the last decade and a half, Michael David has made many kinds of records, but always with other people. David is now sharing a new EP, Melona, released under his own name.

Melona culls together four crystalline tracks, replete with shimmering modular riffs and buoyant, propulsive rhythms. This is the score to a fading dance party on some secluded beach ― guests carrying on with bodies drenched and heads light ― lit up by the moon. The glistening title track stands alongside an undulating and ebullient remix from Manchester selector Chris Massey. Meanwhile, the organic percussion on “Onewish” eventually gives way to softly building layers and a lush melody, drifting along with plenty of room to breathe. “Two Voices” closes the EP with a subtle groove. Originally released on vinyl-only format by the UK label Is It Balearic?, Melona is now seeing a full digital release via Cascine.

Last year, David released his inaugural EP, “There In Spirit” b/w “Rain II.” Recorded primarily on an Eloquencer sequencer, and mixed in part by Joakim, the EP is wounded and searching. Across the two title tracks, David bends and melds organic instrumentation into something layered and spectral: guitars chop and glimmer, and beats cascade and push forward, always with a sense of gentle movement. His music is the sound of a mind searching through time, exhuming memories and emotions ― good and bad ―to try and know, recapture, reclaim, and most importantly, feel.
