Stockholm four-piece Melby have followed up their 2019 debut album None of this makes me worry, with their brand new single “Things I Do When I’m Alone.”
The track is another smartly written offering from the band, with a bit of a folk-inspired otherworldly sound with a raw edge to it that recalls some of the work of acts like Big Thief.
Find a bit about the track from the band below:
Most of this song was recorded in kind of strange places: the staircase leading to our rehearsal space, and a friend’s living room. This made us much less picky than we usually are. And it was easier to feel happy with what we did at once when we weren’t in a regular studio. I don’t think we did more than two takes on any track, and we decided on the sound of each instrument instantly. It feels like this gives the track more of a playful quality than our earlier songs have had. I think this mixes well with the themes of the song. You could say it is about longing for a sense of community, and to live with other people.
