Four years after their year-end list worthy debut LP Good Advice, German rock ‘n’ roll quartet The Melmacs has lost none of its enthusiasm. In fact, the twelve original songs on their sophomore album EUPHANCHOLIA exceed all expectations. Max, Connie, Bimmi, and Remo Melmac stir a good dose of fun and idiosyncrasy into the basic ingredients of power pop, garage rock, and proto-punk in the cauldron of magic potion, leading to an explosion of hits and hooks. One catchy tune follows another, fueled by a relentless organ and infectious harmonies that feel universally inviting (I can imagine that a remix of standout track Keep On could also make EDM fans go wild). Big energy, loud fun, and a wink of rebellion; an Electric Night guaranteed.

EUPHANCHOLIA—recorded by Max Melmac—is out now digitally and on vinyl LP through Bakraufarfita Records, Spaghetty Town Records, and Wanda Records.
