If MELK’s New Year Resolution was to take their new home base of Nashville by storm through virtue of their stoned, sludgy psych rock, they’re well on their way. The trio moved to Tennessee from Rhode Island and promptly put out a self-titled 9-track EP. It’s a seamless listen; MELK’s wall of guitar fuzz is lightened up by their sense of humor and fondness for 60’s pop ditties. We’re also kind of in love with their disgusting album art. Check out their first local show of 2015 at Daisy Duke’s on January 17th with The Acorn People, Safe Secrets and Caligulove. We think they’re going to be just fine in Nashville. –Terra James-Jura
