MELTHAIR & THE LOVERATS Melthair released their legendary debut album, Sex Wrangler, in June 2006. It's genesis lay in the seas of Spain (and the consumption of biblical quantities of sea water) and it's an album jam packed with scintilating drones and enchanting covers (Euros Childs, Ten Benson, The Scorpions). The release was critically acclaimed and won an army of admiring fans, including Irish Pop sensation, Brian McFadden, who told everyone that Melthair's music was 'really odd, but I love it'. Whilst the music made both celebrities and fans want to touch themselves with disbelief, the bands sassy dress sense also caught the eye. The Autumn saw Melthair's second release. Whilst the listeners may have been hoping for more Sex Wrangler style shenanigans, Melthair changed musical directions and moved further into the realms of genius. 'Hornblower' was recorded rapidly using revolutionary recording strategies in Dorset Kicking off with 'Hebefile' the album blew all expectations out of the water. Whilst some critics were less convinced ("Sounds like Hell"...."Harrowing"..."Sick Vandals") it didn't stop the band declaring it to be a masterpiece and only a fool or a Jean Michel Jarre fan would disagree. Now at the peak of their collective powers, Melthair treated the fans to a remix album out just in time for Christmas. Thoughtful and beguiling remixes of some Melthair classics, including Ragworm's Dreams, made this an essential record. The fourth official Melthair release
