Melodic

Melodic is a British independent record label founded by David Cooper in 1999. Based in Manchester, England, Melodic has established itself as a prominent player in the music industry. With a diverse roster of talented artists and performers, Melodic continues to push boundaries and deliver exceptional music to its loyal fan base.

Since its inception, Melodic has been dedicated to discovering and nurturing emerging talent across various genres. The label's commitment to quality and innovation has earned it a reputation for being at the forefront of cutting-edge music. With an emphasis on artistic integrity and creative freedom, Melodic provides a platform for artists to express themselves authentically.

With over two decades of experience, Melodic has built strong relationships with both established acts and up-and-coming musicians. The label's extensive catalogue boasts an impressive array of releases that span multiple genres including indie rock, electronic, folk, and more. Whether you're searching for *upbeat anthems* or *introspective ballads*, Melodic offers something for every musical taste.

Few bands cause Rough Trade to toss their rulebook out the window, but upon hearing the arresting sound of two handmade EPs by London trio The Drink, we did just that. Newly signed to Melodic, The Drink now intoxicate further with the arrival of 'Company'; their gloriously inventive debut album.  Collecting together those now-unavailable EPs, 'Company' has an inimitable, wayward sound drawn from the chaos of real life. In the way bands such as Deerhoof are revered for their unusual sonic approach, The Drink celebrate beauty in oddness through their use of bold syncopated rhythms, strange time signatures and complex structures, via a love of artists from Joanna Newsom to The Breeders and Captain Beefheart. While many lose their sense of melodic direction labouring to create an intriguing experimental sound, on 'Company' it never wanes through the band's boundless energy, reverberating basslines and unforgettably spontaneous fusion of American and English indie rock with Irish folk leanings. For fans of Life Without Buildings and Throwing Muses.CD jewel case includes fold out poster booklet.
