Melted Away

Micah E. Wood’s 3rd album “You, Me, the Reign” embodies the feeling of being in love in a backdrop of anti capitalist protest, confusion, and unrest, with the bubbling intensity of 70’s disco and art rock. The interplay of both highly political songs and love songs coalesce into a unique record that bursts with high energy and ambition.

This album carries pointed references to inspirational musicians such as Stereolab (with Altered Kindness), LCD Soundsystem (with Don’t Wanna Go Back), and Sault (with You, Me, the Reign). There are to nods to Micah’s long-running affection for disco beats, jazz and funk, and even oft-overlooked genres such as kraut-y no wave (Delusion, Projection).

This record also exhibits a genuine love for the Baltimore community, featuring local virtuosos such as Eyas, N A E , notcharles, Modern Nomad, Eze Jackson, Glorian, and more.
