Speaking of the single, frontman Johnny Whitney shares:
“‘Melted Heart’ takes place in a world where live-streamed humiliation rituals and public meltdowns have replaced talent, character, and achievement as the dominant social currency. A world where ‘picking fights with parked cars’ is a viable career path and people high-five their hearts like gongs hoping somebody is still watching. Its main characters are ‘supermodels with shit smeared in their teeth crucifying themselves on your lawn’ and people ‘sobbing in public with chainsaws in their hands screaming give me an acid attack’ because in this world, attention isn’t earned, it’s extracted.
The Octopus Queen from The Blood Brothers’ March on Electric Children found her way back into the lyrics because I wanted to see if she still worked as a metaphor for the rot at the center of our culture. As it turns out, the culture is still rotten, and the Octopus Queen is still laying eggs behind our eyeballs.”
Guest Alexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells comments on working with Evil Island:
“Had a blast working with Evil Island on ‘Melted Heart’. I’ve been a huge fan of Johnny’s voice, and it was pretty surreal to get to scream and shout with him. It’s really inspiring to see all these guys giving the most to this band and generating so many great ideas. Maybe we can go on tour one day?!?”
