Illusio Veri is Me & Melancholy’s Album Out Now
The opening track throws you right into an 80s roller rink, complete with neon lights, legwarmers, and a trusty Walkman pumping out tunes.
The artist’s clear love of music history shines through, with shades of Alphaville and Bronski Beat swirling together in a vibrant sonic cocktail.
This isn’t just a nostalgia trip, though. Illusio Veri pulsates with an energy that makes you want to dance until your feet give out.
It’s music for the night owls, the ones who thrive after dark when the world slows down. The album’s strength lies in its variety.
Tracks like “My Bucket of Things to Do Before I Die,” “24 Hour Square,” and “The Chosen Few” are pure, unadulterated dancefloor anthems, each tinged with a touch of wistfulness.
But Me & Melancholy isn’t afraid to slow things down. “Meant to Be Broken” and “When the Morning Comes” are introspective ballads that pack a serious emotional punch.
A personal favourite is “All the Money in the World,” a hypnotic, dystopian number that wouldn’t feel out of place on a John Carpenter soundtrack.
Every song on Illusio Veri is a gem, making this album a true discovery. Me & Melancholy is an artist to watch.
