Fits Different Styles and Tastes
Serious and Fun.
5 out of 5
When you purchase this EP you will notice on the back it will have the definition of melange: a mixture of often incongruous elements. Well I decided to look up the exact definition of incongruous and found that it means not harmonious. Well yes the EP is a mixture of elements but it is harmonious; thee notes, vocals, beats etc MUSIC agrees with each other well. Each song on the EP has something different to offer. Like the first song, my favorite, features a harmonica a bit more twang then Mon Cheri normally has.
The second song still sweeps me off my feat with dreamy harmonies in a mellow heart aching tune. Daughter, the third song sounds a little like home for Mon Cheri, maybe because I have heard it a lotbut the saxophone adds sweet air to the bands affectionate sound. Psyche goes back to a rockin almost hint of alt-country fast fun song, that will have you saying Psyche over and over! Ear Worm. Opus is almost 8 minutes of tempo – changes and switches with this french burlesque beat in the background. Wild Things closes out the EP with a very sexy sounding Caroline that grabs your attention and lets you know this is Mon Cheri’s new EP – Melange.
The EP Release Date is Friday, March 19th at their EP Release Show, see flyer below. E.P. recorded, mixed, and mastered by Jae Hame from Iconoclast in Spokane. Album Artwork by Caroline Francis – the band also DIY the whole packaging – love it!
