The Melonbars

Seattle-based duo, The Melonbars, just dropped their poppy debut single, “Anti-Ultra“. Pulling you in with ripping instrumentals under airy and hypnotic vocal flows, this is a dynamic track that any fan of the indie/alt-rock world will love. What a debut! A debut is a big deal. It serves as the first impression for an artist’s entire sound. The Melonbars shine brightly here by being able to deliver a sound that feels both nostalgic while at the same time new. That’s a tough thing to accomplish, and it leaves us very excited to see what they have planned next. This duo is a project that every fan of the genre should keep on their radar. Inspired by artists such as David Bowie, Beck, and Ariel Pink and wrote and recorded their debut in singer Adam’s home. They’re a duo of few words, so we’ll just assume they used all of their vocabulary for ‘Anti-Ultra’s lyrics! It’s a punching and uplifting rock track with good vocals and strong instrumentals and the song’s soundscape is a bouncing and weaving one.
