Emergency MotS Post: Matthew Melton @ Still in Rock

Yes, no sooner do we send you to Still in Rock for a happy glut than wily Frenchman Thibault follows through with another certified winner. We've mentioned a number of times how much we love the music of Matthew Melton, he of Bare Wires, Warm Soda, Pleasers, Snake Flower 2, and wtf knows whom else*** fame. Fortunately Thibault shares our love and just today posted two new ones by MM. You can sample them below and, if you like, pay Still in Rock a visit to download.

***Not an actual bandname (so far as we know) . . .

Warm Soda - I Wanna Go Fast

Just yesterday we prontodropped faveband Warm Soda's excellent new one into some of our Songdrop mixes. Just now we found the excellent Side One Track One has made it available for download. So should we wait until we've got five or eight tunes for a "traditional" Music of the Sphere post? Na. So thank you, SOTO, thank you, Jennifer, thank you Matthew Melton, for making some of our favorite music of the past several years. The new Warm Soda LP, Symbolic Dream, drops May 4 on Castle Face Records.

Flowers, Wires, Soda, Matthew Melton, Pleasers: Some Past, Present, and Future Incarnations of . . . Matthew Melton

Not sure if you noticed Matthew Melton's excellent new solosong, "Painted Sign," over there in our Songdrop Currents mix, but if you're into any of the Tennessee-to San Fran-to Austin pleaser's other bands - Snake Flower 2, Bare Wires, Warm Soda, or the forthcoming Pleasers - you might wanta check it out. (Click on all those green artist names for further exploration.) A little research at the Southpaw Records SoundCloud page turned up a handful of freebies we're posting below. We might not be evincing sufficient emotion here, but we've been absolutely loving this guy's music for several years now. Oh, one other thing: we put another Snake Flower 2 song in our Currents mix even though it came out around five years ago. If offended, please shoot us (email, comment, finger, whatever).
