Melpo Mene is the brainchild of Erik Mattiason, who has been writing music since 12. Speaking with him, he told me,I was influenced by Nirvana and i wrote three songs a day and the songs were probobly not so good but i'd like to think they were a little bit better than what the average teenager playing guitar infront of the mirror wrote.

He signed with Imperial Recordings in 2003 and has been releasing a steady flow of e.p's and albums since. Imperial Recordings is also the Swedish home of Jose Gonzalez. Melpo Mene's sound recalls early Iron and Wine, but with that inflected pop sound that the Swedes seem to have perfected.

Melpo Mene瑞典新团队。《Holes》是第一张专辑， 《Bring The Lions Out》是第二张。本人挺喜欢这支乐队的。主唱Erik的声音，好像棉花糖的甜蜜与温暖，惬意轻松，听着听着就渐渐入梦乡了。专辑配乐慵懒迷漫着某种简单的情调。人们忙碌的生活，燥乱的光阴，让人渐渐忘记了身边许多美好事物，偶尔停下脚步，发现它，休闲时光我们少不了。
