Maurizio Borgna allegedly remarked “You all seem to have a very, like, keen eye and understanding of what you want to do.” to the Dogleg guys when he was brought in to mix their debut album.

Melee is, for what it is, a god damned near perfect album. Yeah I don’t know what else to tell you. We both thought that it would be the No 1 album on this list. It just goes to show what an incredible year in music this has been when an Album as criminally genius as Melee only finishes No. 6
