MEDL - Medly

"Medly" is the 9 song debut album from MEDL (San Francisco producers Mike Evans and Doug Land). Following in the tradition of synth pop and loop-based electronica, the duo's brand of evocative synthetic melodies has drawn comparisons to the work of such artists as Plaid, Mouse on Mars, Solvent, ISAN, Dntel and Fourtet.

MEDL

MEDL combines the forces of Squelchy and Dsl. Together they make electronica combining sequences of live jams, samples and acoustic errata.

Squelchy, a.k.a. Mike Evans, has been making music in San Francisco for the past decade - causing trouble and getting free beers as a drummer/singer/guitarist/knob-twiddler with bands like the Shimmer Kids Underpop Association (now the Society of Rockets), Vaportrail, and the Soapbox.

Dsl, a.k.a cable, a.k.a Doug Land, has been creating acoustic havok for almost as long. He's been involved in several other musical projects including The Yellow Lights of Death, pup, and most recently MEDL, as well as occasionally working on tracks of his own.

Together with Low Noise Amplifier, Evans and Land were also co-founding members of the now-defunct Engines of Innuendo, an improv electronica band which combined live instruments with laptops and synths.

This is the first "release" I've done. In the past I've released tracks individually as I completed them, but I thought it might be a nice change of pace (as well as inspiration) to do an actual "album". I hope you all enjoy it.

Sometime is Now



Entirely conceived, composed, performed and recorded during the month of February 2008 for the RPM Challenge - "Sometime is Now" is the first full solo release from Squelchy in 6 years, and the first time he has added lyrics to his usual mix of beats and synths.

The album is part goth disco, part glam rock, part emo-tronica and all personal - drawing influence from a long list of artists from the 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s, including: Brian Eno, David Bowie, Roxy Music, My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Ulrich Schnauss, The Cocteau Twins, The Smiths, The Cure, OMD, Depeche Mode, New Order, Soft Cell, Peter Gabriel, The Pixies, Dinosaur Jr., Mercury Rev, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Of Montreal, Figurine, John Tejada, Matthew Dear and Trentemoller.
