Melodica, Melody and Me

Melodica, Melody and Me is a six-piece indie folk band from Brixton, England that manages to tastefully combine the poignant sounds of British folk with the warm, soothing rhythmic drive of Latin-tinged reggae. Although the music's reggae elements tend to take a backseat to the band's overall folk tendencies, it adds a truly uplifting aura to a style of music that is usually in danger of coming across a bit too chilly and bucolic for most listeners. The band's resulting sound is perfectly encapsulated on its recent single release "Come Outside," which is being celebrated by critics as a milestone in the band's skill and confidence as indie folk songwriters and performers.
