Melt Yourself Down - Last Evenings on Earth (With CD) (New Vinyl LP)

Limited vinyl LP pressing including bonus CD edition. Last Evenings On Earth is the apocalyptic 2016 second album by Melt Yourself Down, evangelical hawkers of DNA-rearranging post-punk exotica. Snatch your passport and let this hydra-headed serpent take you for a dizzying, continent-hopping voyage around a globe spinning ever more rapidly off it's axis. If the band's self-titled debut was a series of feverish nocturnal visions beamed from a sub-Saharan desert where voodoo spirits were raised from dusty catacombs, then this is an even headier trip. Here the rhythm has migrated to the city to merge with the pulses and dark currents that run through it. Capturing the raw energy and wild-eyed intensity of the Melt Yourself Down live show, this music speaks in tongues. Casts spells. Here language disintegrates, replaced by something deeper, more primal, delivered with fire-dancing fury by fervent frontman Kushal Gaya. Like snake-charmers mesmerizing a writhing pit of vipers, "The God of You" entrances, and by "Jump the Fire" the listener is ready to abandon all worldly possessions.
