Melenas

Melenas are a garage kraut pop group from Pamplona, Spain whose will cause fans of The Feelies, Stereolab and classic C86 jangle pop bands to fall for their shimmering guitars, sweet melodies and driving rhythms. They also add a touch of sun-kissed, soft focus psych to their sound. Brilliant melodies, fresh bass lines, acid keys and a Lindy Morrison/motorik-infused drum style are adorned with fuzz and phasers and synthesizers and surrounded with heavenly vocal harmonies.

After having toured their debut album worldwide with shows at Primavera Sound, SXSW (twice), Eurosonic (twice), and even the New York Fashion Week (where they performed at the Ulla Johnson runway), their second LP, ‘Días Raros’ was released in May 2020 via much beloved Chicago imprint Trouble in Mind Records (Mikal Cronin, Jacco Gardner).

In 2021 they released their acclaimed cover version of Grauzone's classic 80's hit 'Eisbaer'.

'Bang' is the first advance single from their much awaited third album, 'Ahora', due to be released after the summer, which sees them evolving their jangle-pop into a 10-song reverie of motorik, Neu-indie soaked in electronics and brimming with promise. 'Ahora' is most definitely of the 'now' and is absolutely their finest release to date.
