Background/Info:
Set up by friends in 2014, We Melt Chocolate has released their
official and self-titled debut album. They previously released a demo and a
self-released EP.
Content:
From the
very first notes you’ll notice the hypnotic guitar playing which constantly
comes back during the entire work. Somewhere in between dream-pop and shoegaze
“We Melt Chocolate” mixes evasive songs with harder passages while the
passionate, but fragile female vocals inject a truly spirit into the work. The
songs have something emotional-like and I especially refer to the final cut
“Golden Eyes”. Two songs (cf. “12 Hours” and “Everjoy”) have been released as
singles.

There’s
an interesting symbiosis running through this album, which is created by
powerful and hypnotic guitar play at one side and a wafting sensation at the
other side. There also is a part of bombast supporting the songs so in the end
you get a delicious fusion orchestrated by the tender and fervent vocals. The
album only features 8 tracks, but I noticed some heavenly pieces such as
“Orange Sky” for its elevating guitar play and the already mentioned “Golden
Eyes” for its dreamy apotheosis.

I regret

Conclusion:
This is
an interesting new-coming band at planet dream-pop.
Best songs:
“Orange
Sky”, “Golden Eyes”, “Everjoy”.
