With loftier aspirations than your average pop band, and greater dynamics than your average rock band, Mellonova ride the cusp between dream pop and space rock. Originally formed while living in the UK, Mellonova cut their collective teeth playing London’s intense club scene before returning to their native Canada in 1998. After two EP’s and several tours of the United States under their belt, Mellonova return with Slightly Happy, their first full-length effort.

Toronto-based Mellonova further the development of their “sonically charged, psychedelically infused” sound with this w self-titled EP. Although they share many of the drone and space elements found in the contemporary “Toronto sound”, Mellonova forge relentlessly forward with one foot firmly planted in traditional rock structures. The result is a record that is very modern and fresh sounding from a band that evidently has a very strong sense of direction.
