Melt

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

I have written about Nicole Simone clip for Melt on the News section, 2 months ago. I have listened to it again today and I love this simple arrangement and wanted to share it with you.

This is what the newsletter I have received is saying:” Nicole Simone releases her self-titled debut EP to critical acclaim, including the first single “Melt” and “The Wedding Song” featuring Jason Schwartzman on drums and banjo. Her New York debut performance on June 14th is not to be missed as the players in her New York band include Kelly Pratt (Beirut, Arcade Fire, The Citizens Band), Jon Natchez (Beirut, Arcade Fire), Mark McAdam, Dave Treut and Kevin Thaxton. On June 29th Nicole Simone will celebrate the release of her EP with a show at Hotel Café with her all-star Los Angeles band consisting of Stewart Cole (Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros), Josh Grange (Dwight Yoakam) and Joe Karnes (John Cale, Pete Yorn).

Nicole Simone – Melt


Nicole Simone to release debut EP including the first single “Melt” and “The Wedding Song” featuring Jason Schwartzman on drums and banjo.

Although she was born in the eighties, Nicole Simone has always been fascinated with nostalgia and old films from a very young age. She writes all her music with love for creating a mood and environment of her own in which one gets transported into old movie scenes set in a David Lynch-ian smoky nightclub, where Nicole takes the stage in front of the red plush curtains. Her haunting, intoxicating and timeless music is illustrated by a unique instrumentation of guitar, marxophone, orchestron, trumpet, mandolin, vibraphone, piano and ukulele. Nicole just completed her first EP, which will be released on March 9th 2010. On the opening track entitled, “The Wedding Song” actor/musician Jason Schwartzman lent his talents on drums and banjo. Nicole Simone’s music can be heard in the Sundance film The Good Life starring Bill Paxton, Zooey Deschanel, and Harry Dean Stanton, as well as in the indie film Alone With Her starring Colin Hanks. Her diverse artistic influences range from Frederic Chopin to Tom Waits and New Orleans funeral processions to the likes of Howlin’ Wolf, Billie Holiday and Cesária Évora. Nicole Simone’s first music video for the song “Melt” was shot near the Joshua Tree desert. The video is an homage to one of Nicole’s favorite films, Wim Wenders Paris, Texas as well as inspired by French New Wave directors such as Jean-Luc Godard and Louis Malle. You can see the stunning and intriguing music video here.magazine featured Nicole in their music issue alongside Bryan Ferry, Ryan Adams and Charlotte Gainsbourg. She has played support slot for artists such as Ed Harcourt, Jesca Hoop, Maria Taylor and Diane Birch. Nicole Simone co-produced her EP with Zac Rae and Woody Jackson. Gavin Lurssen mastered the EP.
