Melt by Dizgo
“Melt” is a journey that captures the sonic qualities and subject matter that represents the collective voice of the members of Dizgo. We wanted to make an album that showcased each member’s individual influences to spotlight everyone’s unique strengths.
We wrote a lot of this record between 2022-2023, which were some of the busiest years the band has had yet, both on the road and at home. We drew a lot of the inspiration in the song-writing from our experiences touring all over the country and from events that took place in our personal lives in between. Bringing new life into the world, tying the knot, moving to new cities.. there’s been a lot of personal development for a lot of the band in that period of time and I think that really shone through in some of the songs on the record as well - our music is maturing, like we’ve been in our personal lives as well.
While most of the songs on the album are lyric-driven, we included 3 instrumental songs and even our first interlude, that helped tie the project together. We named it after a funky, psychedelic band-favorite instrumental that seemed to ‘bring it all home’ when it came to what the album is about, or what it means to us. We found the name & the song ‘Melt’ fitting because we feel the song strongly represents the ‘heart’ & current sound of our music & also accurately encapsulates the intrinsic connection between us as a band, and our audience in a live setting, we all ‘melt’ into one collective unit, experiencing time & space together. The special moment where music connects and creates community - melting together a bond between the music, musician, and listener.
The album was recorded and produced by the band in our rehearsal space over a two month period and was our first attempt at a fully in-house project outside of the art and masters. We were lucky to have some awesome art from Max Powers, to help paint the story single-by-single leading into the album release. This was our first attempt at a project that brought each song into the world of the artwork. The songs were mastered by Austin Litz of the band Litz, who had a great ear and helped these recordings come to life. We look forward to sharing Melt with the world and want to thank everyone for supporting us & this music.”
