TORONTO, May 24, 2024 – Today marks the release of “The Caves Have Wifi 2,” the eagerly awaited sequel from the dynamic duo of Toronto-raised artist Melo Griffith and Ottawa-based producer Travis Thickle. This innovative album delves even deeper into the intricate soundscape that listeners first glimpsed in 2020 with the groundbreaking “The Caves Have Wifi.”
When we last left Griffith and Thickle, they had just uncovered a mysterious, bass-heavy cave hidden behind a trippy melodic door at the end of their hit track, “Tell Me.” Now, in “The Caves Have Wifi 2,” the duo ventures further into this immersive world, exploring rich jungle tones, solitude, and the boundless spirit of adventure. These caves, too, have wifi, symbolizing deeper connections and shared experiences.
“The Caves Have Wifi 2” is a masterful blend of transient sounds, heavy bass notes, and somber energy, complemented by bouncy rhythms, light melodic vocals, intricate rap flows, and ethereal, dream-like sequences. The album invites listeners on a journey through trials and tribulations, offering a profound opportunity for self-reflection and connection.
“Think of the album as the caves of your mind, allowing you to connect with others, like wifi,” says Melo Griffith.
Melo Griffith has shown remarkable growth through his singles “Luck” and “Avenue,” both included in the new album. The featured single, “OMW (RUN IT UP),” is a powerful anthem about escaping the rat race and overcoming everyday struggles. It speaks to the challenge of balancing day jobs with the pursuit of dreams, encapsulating self-care and determination.
Both artists are thrilled to share their latest creation:
“Caves 2 will be a true showcase of our versatility and creativity as artists. It’ll have a lil something for everyone.” – Travis Thickle
“This sequel is long awaited but worth every moment of time. We’re bringing substance back to creating music and passion back to making projects.” – Melo Griffith
“The Caves Have Wifi 2” is now available on all major streaming platforms.
