By combining found noises and field-recorded nature with minimal / fragile post-rock-guitars, drones and fuzzy low-end bass-lines, Melanchoholics create extensive soundscapes and almost cinematic soundtracks to psychotic euphoria and intoxicated wastelands. Solar Café is the final chapter within the discography of Melanchoholics. It is based on a series of stunning photos shot during research for a documentary on the long waiting period for the summer solstice in the village of Flateyri situated in Iceland's Westfjords. Melanchoholics have set their attention directly on the lurid sides of the human personality: desperate internal fears and simplistic structures and melodies fleshed out well with subtle textures and voices. The feeling is one of lamentation and dreariness as the sounds trudge along. Yet there is a warmth and smokiness to it as well. There is a colourful darkness before that day comes... the moment to celebrate the return of sunlight. Dynamic range mastered for vinyl. Ltd x 400 copies on red vinyl, with download code including 2 bonus tracks.
