Melotrik is a mixture of a record company and a creative collective based in Oulu, Finland. The aim of the people involved is to bring forth alternative music from the notrhern parts of Finland. Firstly the label is for the purpose of the founders' bands, but if there is the time and the money, the production and publishing of other bands' and artists' records will be considered.


Releases

LES: Double Worlds EP (2012)

Double Worlds EP marks a new beginning for LES, Palomaa's first band. It is a return to the source, updated to reflect the life that both Heikkis have lived since. Double Worlds EP is only available as downloads at Equal Dreams and Bandcamp. It is also freely listenable here.

Cold Decade: City Rites (single 2010)

Cold Decade is the solo project of Heikki from Phantom Wagon and Viva Ziva. City Rites is the new song written in the summer of 2010. Cold Decade tracks are available only as downloads at Nimbit Music.

Phantom Wagon: Out of the System (2009) MRK005

Out of the System is Phantom Wagon's second full-length album. It consists of energetic pop-punk and alternative rock. The lyrics address issues like inequality and being an outsider, but also try to figure out the good things in this chaos we call life. The record is available at Levykauppa Äx and as downloads at Nimbit Music.

80th Disorder: Simple Pleasures (2009) MRK004

This is the first ever long play by 80th Disorder called Simple Pleasures. If 80th Disorder were a car, they would most probably be russian: built from simple elements in an original way, surprising everyone by how well it works. The quartet blends four personalities and a few decades in a concoction that tickles the taste buds of any listener who is hungry for atmospheric, dark-tinted indie rock. The record is available at Levykauppa Äx and Stupido Shop.

Viva Ziva: Loose Ends (2008) MRK003

The Viva Ziva album is in parts floating and in parts manic guitar driven indie rock. Viva Ziva have previously released Stranger Eyes EP and the album continues on the same lines of uncompromised approach to making music. The album is available at Levykauppa Äx (Oulu) and at Fazer Musiikki (Oulu).

Phantom Wagon: Wait a While Now (2007) MRK002

The Phantom Wagon LP is very versatile from joyful to sorrowful, and from light to rather heavy. This is due to the fact that the band hasn’t set limits to its outlet, though maybe in general it could be said to be melancholy, melodic and energetic alternative rock. The record is available at Levykauppa Äx.

80th Disorder: Transform EP (2006) MRK001

On the 4 track EP the band continues its journey on the path of athmospheric synth-pop. The drum- machine has been replaced by a drummer, which has brought extra energy to the band, especially to the live-acts, but which hasn't totally erased the feeling of electro-pop, which once was the band's starting point. The record is available at Levykauppa Äx.
