Salvia Palth - melanchole (3rd pressing)
$10.00 - $60.00
melanchole is a collection of ambitious lo-fi pop songs recorded by Daniel Johann in the winter of 2012. These are songs that deal with the awkwardness of growing up, the pains of being apart, and the anxieties of being alive and real.
Originally self-released on Bandcamp, melanchole became a viral internet sensation. In 2018, Danger Collective remastered melanchole and reissued it on vinyl with a new track listing; the first pressing sold out within the first 24 hours it was released. This third pressing will be released on Doublemint Green vinyl with alternate cover artwork by Jono Verrall, packaged with an OBI strip and a 12x12 insert.
Alongside the reissue of melanchole, we're offering a photo book: a collection of film photography taken by Jono Verrall, a friend of Daniel’s responsible for melanchole’s original artwork. These intimate pictures were captured in the years between 2012 and 2019, and served as direct inspiration during melanchole’s production. Verrall’s photos highlight the small moments of his friends, surroundings, and the sweeping landscapes of Aotearoa’s South Island.
"Over the years these photos were taken, I don't really think any of us thought that much of what we were doing. We were mostly just trying to keep ourselves from boredom in a small town with barely anything to do. These photos for me are not only the visual companion to melanchole they are a sincere collection of memories, places lived and a record of time spent among friends." - Jono Verrall
“These photos are of everything that I knew at this time; the
only town I had ever really lived in and pretty much all the friends I had ever had – they were always the visual equivalent to melanchole because melanchole was about the same things.”
– Daniel Johann
