MELPHI - Through The Looking Glass (2014) [Hi-Res]

In the sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland “Through the Looking-Glass and what Alice found there?” written by Lewis Carroll, Alice ponders what the world is like on the other side of a mirror’s reflection. Like Alice, MELPHI views situations from a different angle. Step through the mirror, enter MELPHI’s world and look at it from their perspective. In this world, Lotte sings what is on their minds. Ranging from the joy of sleeping, jealousy, the desire for a worryfree lifestyle, or inspirational poems by William Butler Yeats.

This album not only introduces you to MELPHI’s viewpoint, but also enables you to meet their members individually. Such as the soulful voice of Lotte, the quirky and adventurous approach of Rogier, the enthusiasm and joy of Willem and the tasteful balance between functionality and interaction of Jurriaan. With their different backgrounds, these four musicians meet each other in the music of this album. At this musical intersection soulful compositions can easily coexist with catchy pop songs, and complex rhythms mingle effortlessly with a simple waltz. A world in which they share common interests in music, people, or more worldly themes. Like Alice, step through the looking glass, and be welcomed to the world of MELPHI.
