Music: Meltt – “Up All Night”: Vancouver Dream-Psych Rockers Illuminate the Eternal Cycle

Meltt are a Vancouver-based alternative and psychedelic rock band whose music flows like nature’s own rhythm — moving through birth, death, and rebirth with cinematic grace. Comprised of Chris Smith (lead vocals, guitar, bass, keys), Jamie Turner (drums, percussion), James Porter (guitar, keys, bass, vocals), and Ian Winkler (bass, keys, guitar), the quartet fuses soaring vocals, shimmering synths, and distorted guitars into a lush, interconnected soundscape.

Their second album, Eternal Embers (via Nettwerk), reflects that natural progression — transforming melancholy into transcendence, and distortion into light. Written in isolation and refined in a remote cabin, the record builds on the immersive spirit of their debut Swim Slowly, which introduced standout tracks like “Love Again,” “On Your Own,” and “Fool Of You.” Meltt’s music is an ecosystem in motion: rock, alt, and psych elements coexisting with spiritual cohesion and technical precision.

“Up All Night” captures the restless euphoria at the heart of Meltt’s universe — a glowing meditation on sleepless minds, cyclical renewal, and the beauty found in chaos. Built around atmospheric guitars and glistening synth lines, the song mirrors the band’s elemental philosophy: everything burns, dissolves, and returns brighter.

There’s an emotional duality at play — the ache of repetition and the comfort of knowing that rebirth always follows ruin. It’s a song that feels infinite, shimmering like starlight over still water, blurring the line between dream and wakefulness.

Meltt invite listeners to surrender to that endless loop — a space where even the darkest hours glow with new beginnings.
