Meltt + Los Eclipses

Meltt is a Vancouver-based dream pop and indie rock trio whose recordings have built a following through the combination of gauzy production, melodic precision, and the kind of emotional directness that the genre doesn't always manage to maintain. Their sound sits comfortably in the lineage of bands who treat atmosphere and hook as equally important — music that works in headphones and translates cleanly to a live room.

Los Eclipses opens a bill that rewards close-range listening. The Masquerade on September 4 is the right-sized venue for a band whose music benefits from proximity — September 4.
