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 to Lawrence.

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. Catch them playing the song this summer at Red Rocks, the Greek Theater, and beyond on tour with My Morning Jacket.
