Stockholm, Swedengroup Melpo Mene comes from the same scene as Jose Gonzalez, an associate who inhabits the same sonic territory as Melpo Mene’s gentle, reflective songs. Melpo Mene’s songs, however, are a bit more rock oriented. New full-length Behind The Trees opens with “Elephant Parade” sounds like a Swedish version of Modest Mouse’s “Float On” or even Grizzly Bear. “Leave Me”, on the other hand, is more interested in acoustic melodies, layered percussion & synthesized washes of sound, a truly lush and gorgeous song. “Make The Girl Dance” is every bit as summery as its title implies, with female vocals toward its end!
