Saint Mela began in the summer of 2013 as a long distance exchange between Wolf Weston & Steven Dewey. After Weston started returning demos to the tracks Dewey was sending, their creative partnership solidified into an eclectic body of work. Dewey’s knack for dismantling samples resonated with Weston's propensity for genre-hopping experimentation, and in 2014 their first EP was released.
Not long after they moved back to NYC, they recruited long-time friend Josh Rollin, a talented multi-instrumentalist who, similar to Dewey, grew up experimenting with sound creation and recording. Together, they built a vibrant community who flocked to their energetic live shows and turned into dedicated listeners. The loyal fan base propelled their debut album, first bloom (2018), to great success. A stunning combination of spiritual lyrics and chopped vocal samples over a bed of found-sound pop production, Pitchfork hailed first bloom as “a shot of adrenaline” while praising Weston as a “dynamo singer.”
Since releasing first bloom, Saint Mela has returned to their smaller, more experimental origins, carefully crafting a series of EPs. With a penchant for innovative sounds, inventive melodies, and a wide range of influences, Saint Mela will always keep listeners dancing, singing, and feeling.
