Adam Melchor Announces New Version of EP 'Fruitland'

Adam Melchor has announced a new version of his highly anticipated Fruitland EP which is now being released on October 13th. After some careful consideration and a little bit of soul searching he announced this to fans…. 

"The past few years have been strange - I spent them struggling to creatively trust myself and my identity. Imposter syndrome, lack of confidence, and not wanting to do anything. I found myself making music for any reason other than because I loved to do it. It’s been hitting me hard and I’ve kept it mostly hidden.

My original plan for Fall 2023 was to release an EP called ‘Fruitland’ on September 22. But upon spending time at home in Jersey and buying a pickup truck that I drove from NY to LA, I fell in love with a group of songs that I had made alone at my house in LA. During this trip, I rediscovered the pure joy in music that I’ve been searching for the past couple years.

The feeling I had while I was driving across the country reminded me of the first time I made my way out to LA - this exact drive with a suitcase and songs I loved. This served as a reminder to be true to myself as an artist, but most importantly as a person.

That being said, I am moving the Fruitland EP to October 13th, with 5 new songs on it that I produced and wrote On September 21, I’m putting out a song called BIGTIMEGOODTIME, the first single off this new project. I can’t wait to share it with you and take you on the most vulnerable journey I can offer. This song and the whole project are a home for me that I needed to put in the world.

Let me take you around the place I live on Oct 13. See you at Fruitland."

This fall, Adam will join jazz pop sensation Laufey on an already sold out fall tour kicking off in San Francisco at The Fillmore and ending in Los Angeles at The Theatre at Ace Hotel. The list of dates can be found below. 

Melchor’s songs massage the line between off-kilter indie lullabies and the great tradition of classic LA singer-songwriters. It’s been quite the trip for the singer, whose forthcoming Fruitland EP dawns a new era. Once splitting his identity between the soothing folksinger on record and the jubilant rock ‘n’ roller on stage, Melchor on Fruitland presents his most complete self and the true  distillation of what it’s like to experience the now more seasoned songwriter and performer in person.
