Facebook tells us that 25-year-old Melia, perhaps known to some of you from Electric Picnic 2010, has synaesthesia - “As he describes it himself ‘ it’s a feeling of knowing where things go in the overall arrangement’. The songs on ‘Hold Onto The Colours’ demonstrate this very special sensibility and play with the listeners ears in a way that is quite unique” which makes this an interesting offering in itself, but add to that drums from Johnny Boyle of The Frames and there’s something here worth paying attention to to see how it pans out.
