Centred around saxophonist Pete Wareham, they number some
of the finest musicians in the land, spanning jazz, rock and world
music. Theirs is music mined and hewn from North African
deserts and the New York underground. Sounds blasted and
blown. Jazz detonated. Rhythms to rearrange the DNA.
Melt Yourself Down have issued three calls to arms, the singles
‘Fix My Life’, ‘We Are Enough’ and the full-on frenzied funk of
‘Release!’, filling dance-floors and airwaves. The self-titled album,
out in June, fulfils the promise, plunging you into an ecstatic fever
dream. As Pitchfork has it, they’re “a bazaar sax smackdown that
has an iron in every furnace of global psychedelia, smelted into a
structure of tungsten strength.”
Live, they’re a tropical storm, lit by full-frontal fireworks and led
from the front by Kushal Gaya, part finger-pointing punk
shaman, part proselytising preacherman, spitting fire and
brimstone calls that demand a response. Their message: Melt
Yourself Down and turn yourself up. Get out of it and into it. And
go.
Melt Yourself Down: Pete Wareham (Acoustic Ladyland, Polar
Bear), Kushal Gaya (Zun Zun Egui), Shabaka Hutchings (Sons
Of Kemet, Heliocentrics), Tom Skinner (Hello Skinny, Sons Of
Kemet, Mulatu Astatke), Ruth Goller (Acoustic Ladyland, Rokia
Traoré), Satin Singh (Fela!). Rubbed the right way by
Leafcutter John.
