Lee Burridge and Belgian genius Lost Desert have announced their debut collaborative album, Melt, set for release July 19 on All Day I Dream imprint. Loaded with intricate, layered, melodies and understated grooves, the 10-track LP captures the feel of Burridge’s fabled All Day I Dream parties and features collaborations with contemporaries Simon Vuarambon and vocalist, Junior to name a few.

Lee Burridge stated:

“Music is a beautiful escape for so many of us. A place where strangers meet strangers and strangers make new friends. An initial way to bond. It speaks the same language that’s understood by people from far and wide. It’s an experience shared. One between you and the artist or you and a crowd of hundreds or thousands”

Ahead of the album release, the duo has unveiled the first tune in the form of an eight-minute ballad titled “Mibale,” featuring Junior Akwerty’s otherworldly vocals. This tune is a culmination of ancient linguistics, wind instrumentation, and floating percussion that welcomes listeners into the soothing and emotional world that the album sets forth.

Melt is a landmark release in Burridge’s career. Warmth, beauty, sadness and melodic bliss intertwine to become their own sentimental landscapes.
