Pulsing with the energy of their hometown, New York City, ‘If There’s a Heaven’ (2024) is the debut album from indie band Melt. Hear the band simultaneously at their most airtight and freewheeling—evoking the raw, communal spirit of Fleetwood Mac as well as the modern, danceable hooks of MUNA. Recorded live to tape with producer Sam Evian (Big Thief), the eleven tracks span existential, feel-good pop (“Plant the Garden”), classic love ballads (“Your Name”) and lush, soulful rockers (“Heaven”). Melt’s debut is a joyous, timeless soundtrack for coming of age and finding oneself and one’s community.

Melt formed in 2017 and cut their teeth touring on the heels of their viral single “Sour Candy.” Called “one groovy superorganism” by NPR, the band’s ecstatic live set has led them to supporting slots with a wide array of artists from Grouplove, Lawrence, My Morning Jacket, and Grace Potter.

Back with their first release since ‘If There’s a Heaven,’ the band’s new single “Stay for the High” is 2025’s “Yellow”—an early aughts heartbreaker with the edge of a queer rock band.
