This week's 8CCC Feature Album is a collation of lists; lists of ways colonial states conspire with capitalist forces to murder black, brown, queer, trans and womens lives; lists of life and loss and love and rage; lists reminding us of our interconnection; that none of us are free until we are all free.melt is queer laden doompunk rising from the dust of the central desert by band members - saar on guitar, meret on bass, bec on drums and mia on vocals. Melt writes tracks as a f# you to the patriarchy, colonial havoc and the warmachine - forever together in resistance and shared devastation.this ep was written and recorded on Central Arrernte Country Country that was stolen from its Traditional Owners and Custodians by the illegitimate colonial project of so-called australia. sovereignty has never been ceded or surrendered and resistance has never ceased. melt pays our respects to the Traditional Custodians of Mparntwe, and to all First Nations peoples resisting ongoing colonisation. Always was, always will be Aboriginal landthis ep was recorded and mixed by Jez Conlon from Left Of Elephant Sound at the Black Wreath in July 2024 <3 big thanks to Vito and Cam for cassette production support.
