Melin Melyn Live At The Tree House

Melin Melyn are more than a band—they’re storytellers and world-builders. Their debut album, Mill On The Hill, blends surf-rock, country, prog-rock, and psychedelia into a concept-driven experience set in the whimsical Melin Village, where six millers create music to power their utopian world.

Formed in 2019, the Welsh six-piece, led by Gruff Glyn, quickly gained attention with their EPs Blomonj and Happy Gathering, and performances championed by BBC 6Music’s Marc Riley. The band’s theatrical live shows and narrative arcs have drawn acclaim from outlets like The Guardian and The Financial Times.

The album features standout tracks like “Vitamin D,” a sunny yet darkly humorous surf-rock tune; “Fantastic Food,” a prog-rock exploration of love and loneliness; and “Promised Land,” a heartfelt country ballad. Songs like “The Pigeon & The Golden Egg” and “Running On MT” mix absurdism with reflection, while “18-30” critiques escapist rituals. With Mill On The Hill, Melin Melyn create a safe, imaginative space for listeners, offering escapism and introspection through their dynamic, genre-defying sound.
