Melt is the debut solo album and "alternate reality" from María Zardoya, the lead singer and songwriter of the Grammy-nominated indie-pop band The Marías.
The band uses cello (with an electric cello for live shows) to create a gothic sound with occasional Western references. The band often arranges themes such as whiskey and the Devil into concept albums.
More than a decade into their career, the trio continue to refine it's nuanced alloy of industrial, goth, and post-punk to a new level of all-consuming fullness
