CARLTON MELTON 'Turn To Earth" album announcement @ ECHOES AND DUST
As exquisite as Turn to Earth is, Melton are best appreciated as a live act: their recordings as well as their gigs are largely improvised – not so much composed as birthed. After the rockus interruptus of that 2018 tour and the tantric tease of the intervening Covid lockdown, Melton have some unfinished business. An October 2023 tour is poised to set the freshly minted quartet back onto the stages of Europe and within the cerebral folds of its fans.
Turn to Earth is released on October 6 2023 via Agitated Records and can be pre-ordered HERE

'microwavelengths' album premiere and interview- It's psychedelic baby magazine -
I hear elements of Bardo Pond and Skullflower’s heavy psych mixed with touches of Eddie Hazel style freeform fusion and intense noise rock all bounced around in your music. What actual musical reference points were you aiming for with ‘Microwavelengths’?
Andy: I don’t think we have aimed for anything, ever, in regards to making a record. There will always be subconscious influences; whatever any of us happens to be listening to- at home, or driving to work- leading up to the studio session. It could be Van Halen, it could be the Butthole Surfers. Win-win.
