Beach Weather Welcomes You to Their Desert Disco with New Album “Melt”

Beach Weather has returned with their sophomore album “Melt”, which has the familiar alt rock, 80’s inspired sound but cuts deep and unveils raw emotion. Although the album clocks in at 38 mins, the attention to detail is prevalent. Riding an emotional rollercoaster, “Melt” is a dark and honest contrast from the band's first album “Pineapple Sunrise”.

The intro track ‘Desert Disco’ serves a taste of what's to come for the rest of the album and seamlessly bleeds so carefully into the title track. 

‘High in Low Places’, ‘Hottest Summer on Record,’ and ‘Hardcore Romance’ were the singles released to promote the album and were the perfect songs to give as a preview. 

‘Fake Nice’ and ‘Paranormal Activity’ seem to be a favorite amongst the band, these tracks also seem to be the ones they poured their hearts into the most. ‘Fake Nice’ also includes a poem that bassist Reeve Powers wrote for the second bridge of the song. 

‘Stardust’ is the track to close out the album and it fits so well there. It bodies an 80’s vibe instrumentally with twinkly keys and wraps up “Melt” perfectly and feels like closure after the themes discussed earlier in the album. 

Each member of Beach Weather has been very vocal on social media about how much this album, lead singer Nick Santino shared “This record isn’t just about our personal stories; it’s about emotions we all feel but don't always speak out loud. I hope Melt connects with you in the moments when you need it most, bringing comfort and helping you find the peace and happiness you deserve.” 

The growth all around compared to the previous album is tremendous. “Melt” feels relieving in a way to know you aren’t alone with your feelings. The intense passion that just seeps out of this record is powerful and it’s obvious Beach Weather put their hearts and souls into it. 

To celebrate the release of “Melt”, you can catch Beach Weather in a city near you for an extra special show in which you get to hear some of the new songs live.
