Melodyguild have finished recording a new song for a CD compilation. More details soon! In the meantime, plans to begin recording the full-length follow up to the EP, Aitu, have begun.
Check out Falling You. Suzanne contributes vocals to several of the tracks on the new CD.
Thank you to all of those who joined us for our record release party, Saturday 6/21/08, at Club Violaine. Melodyguild performed live, along with San Francisco's Veil Veil Vanish & Amazing Reverb Engine.
Projekt Records released Melodyguild's debut EP, Aitu, in stores on June 10th, 2008. Copies of the disc are also available at Projekt.com, or you can click on the iTunes link below for downloads.
Suzanne Perry - the vocalist for Love Spirals Downwards - returns with her first new collection of work in almost a decade. Fronting the driving shoegazer / dream-pop trio Melodyguild, her always fluid and enchanting vocals take on new power and depth. - Projekt Records
Melodyguild are often described using phrases such as “shoegaze”, “indie rock”, and “dream pop”. As elusive as it may be to fully define the Los Angeles-based band’s sound, it is safe to say that they aspire to embody a sweeping range - a broad sonic spectrum in the music they create. The individual band members each possess a focus, a particular energy which drives Melodyguild toward its goal. When grouped together, the result is both honest and extraordinary.
It begins with Suzanne Perry, angel-voiced singer from the successful ethereal duo Love Spirals Downwards. Her vocals set the tone for the rest of the band, while her ability to elicit emotion connects Melodyguild to its audience. It continues with Nicholas Pallos, who brings to the band his unique, personal drumming style and knowledge of multiple instruments, adding a gentle intensity to the mix. Next is Cris Miller, who contributes his proficiency in production, transforming musical ideas into full arrays of melody, further completing the vision Melodyguild sets out to achieve.
To date, Melodyguild’s dynamic live performances have been warmly received by the Los Angeles community; the band’s ability to shift gears from subtle to intense, hypnotic to jazzy, not lost on the city’s tough-to-please audiences. As for Melodyguild’s future, we look forward to new recordings and more of their engaging live shows. Every moment retaining that varying style, that inspired energy, that gave Melodyguild life from the very beginning.
Cool show at Spaceland last night! Too bad there weren't more people there. Really, sometimes when you guys were playing, like "Flicker," I was thinking that your songs are just too good for radio. Still, I hope your songs get some airplay.... Thank you for playing! :)
Hi,thank you very much for adding me to your friends list. I loved the work of you, the songs are wonderful. and the soul of songs is beautiful! take care!
Thanks for the add! I love your new EP! Suzanne is invited and welcome to sing on any future "Songs for Jenny" ALS charity CDs she cares to in the future.
Hey you guys--I did see someone filming the show last weekend with what looked like a pro camera. Are you planning to make the video available anywhere? Please??? :)
Hey, great show last night/this morning! Suzanne's voice was flawless as ever, and the guys did her justice. I'm already waiting for the next CD.... ;)
This is a stunningly beautiful new collective with a brilliant sound! Thank you for stopping by. Suzanne, I've always loved your voice in LSD; its great to have you back for more.
