The band is a collaborative project featuring something of a who's who's who of musicians working in the regions around jazz, improv, punk and more: Acoustic Ladyland/Polar Bear man Pete Wareham, Zun Zun Egui's Kushal Gaya, Hello Skinny's Tom Skinner, saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings, Acoustic Ladyland's Ruth Goller, Satin Singh of Transglobal Underground, and Leafcutter John.
Fitting the members' diverse backgrounds, Melt Yourself Down's is a thrilling hybrid sound, touching on jazz, African music, post-punk, psych-rock and the kind of fierce jazz/rock fusions that Wareham's other bands are renowned for.
