  • Video Premiere: Meljoann – Secrets

    October 27, 2022 - By 

    Avant-pop sensation and all round TTA favourite Meljoann is back with another creative self directed and produced video for ‘Secrets’, the second release in a succession of singles. The video features an all too familiar setting of a 90’s style day time talk show with a whole host of Mel-tiverse characters that fans of her ongoing Mustics clips would surely recognise. Speaking about the video, Meljoann said: “Using the magic of reality TV editing to my advantage, I made it look like my Talk Show debut was a triumph. When in fact, it was the most embarrassing experience of my entire life” Have a first look below!

  • Monday Mixtape: Meljoann

    July 5, 2021 - By 

    Having just released her self-directed video for 90s-pop bop ‘Overtime‘, Meljoann’s brand of experimental pop runs the gamut of classic and contemporary electronic pop. She takes us through some of her all-time favourites – in her own words: “I tried to make it not wanky, but unfortunately I failed and it’s actually 100% pure nerdy enthusiasm” Roger Doyle – The Iron Language Alphabet (Pt.1) Roger Doyle is a bit of a legend on the Irish experimental electronic scene. A friend had this sprawling, sci-fi inflected double album, and listening to it we were transported to another world. It took him ten years to complete.…

  • Video Premiere: Meljoann – Business Card

    August 18, 2020 - By 

    Hands down one of the country’s most idiosyncratic solo artists, Meljoann is a musical mind positively resistant to second-guessing. Taken from her forthcoming “anti-capitalised themed” album HR, recently singles ‘Company Retreat’ and ‘O Supervisor’ presented an artist whose sonic vision is matched by a perfectly unpigeonholeable visual body of work. New single ‘Business Card’ goes one further. Accompanied by easily one of our favourite Irish videos of the year thus far, it’s a deft and masterfully disorientating effort from an artist very much on the rise.
