MELLAH FAMILY FUN

We've been invested in the off-kilter, and often dark, musings of Mellah for a good 3 years now. Returning with the deceptively wholesome-sounding 'Family Fun', the thoroughly entertaining accompanying video sees the Peckham-based songwriter living his gameshow host fantasy in a colourful reinterpretation of Family Fortunes circa 1987. Sonically 'Family Fun' feels significantly more uplifting than the likes of 'Paseo', 'Cigarette Lighter' or 'What It Is' as sharp, krauty beats snap against more whimsical layers of guitar, synth and even cello. True to form, the lyrics are poignant and visceral, counteracting the comparatively carefree instrumentation. Watch the self-directed clip here now. -Holly Mulineaux
