Melanchole is a collection of ambitious lo-fi pop songs recorded by Daniel Johann in the winter of 2012 in Wellington, New Zealand, when Johann was only 15 years old.

The songs deal with the awkwardness of growing up, the pains of being apart, and the anxieties of being alive and real.

Originally self-released on bandcamp, the album became a viral internet sensation, garnering over 100 million streams on Spotify and a large TikTok following.

In 2018, Danger Collective remastered Melanchole and reissued it on vinyl with a new track listing; the first pressing sold out within the first 24 hours it was released.

Johann continues to remain somewhat of an enigma, rarely performing live or giving interviews.

After almost a decade since his debut, Johann is currently in the midst of recording a follow-up album.
