Editorial review
This is a nice surprise of eclectic quirkiness. Melomane are all over the place with a jump from new wave to cocktail to the quirky "Bone Machine"-era of Tom Waits, to a relaxed feel of power pop to Latin, etc. Additional incorporations of a theremin, trumpet leads, cello, and a toy xylophone make Resolvo one of the more interesting releases of 2001; experimental but not avant-garde enough to make this unlistenable. Fans of Beck and Stereolab should be on the lookout for this. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Melomane is a pop-noir six-piece from New York City combining guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, cello, trumpet and noise into a melange of haunting melodies and hummable pop. Melomane's sound invokes Calexico, Stereolab, and a more muscular Belle and Sebastian. The band was formed by singer songwriter Pierre de Gaillande, a veteran of favorite indie bands such as Film Star, Creedle, and Morning Glories. He is joined by an amazing amalgam of NYC musicians including Quentin Jennings (Dylans), Daria Klotz (God is My Co-Pilot, Moonlighters), Kenny Savelson (Foetus, C Gibbs), Frank Heer (Huggy Bear), and Catherine McCray (T Griffin Coraline, Patti Smith.)
Solresol is Melomane's second album and pushes the infectious, melodic, melancholy pop-rock of the first album to greater heights of sonic texture, power, and dark beauty.
