he Melting Ice Caps is the solo guise of former Luxembourg frontman
David Shah. Though this is his second single, it's the first one to be
entirely self-produced. It's released as a free download through the
God Is In The TV Singles Club on the 20th of October.

Lead track 'Selfish Bachelor' is a swirling, oddly uplifting marriage
of dirty guitars, pulsating electronica and perhaps the most candid
lyric David has ever put his name to. Meanwhile, b-side 'How To Appear
Well-Adjusted' is chamber pop par excellence, with violins and
accordions wrapped around a blackly comic guide to surviving daily
life.

This will be available to God Is In The TV Zine users only for the
first month, before being made free to download to all afterwards.

The Melting Ice Caps – Single#2

1. Selfish Bachelor
2. How To Appear Well-Adjusted

Initially very much a studio-based project, the Melting Ice Caps is
now a going concern on the London gig circuit, and Shah has already
received glowing reviews for these early (almost entirely solo)
performances.
