This week's PBS Feature Album is On Diamond's Melon on the Vine.

The second album from alternative/experimental pop band On Diamond, Melon on the Vine explores themes of time, grief and desire, while centering on the pursuit of connection.

The band’s distinctive sound unfurls with expressive detail, bringing each song’s world to life. Imagery of rotting fruit, crawling mountains, and rogue sheep evoke dysfunction in a dream-like reflection of personal and collective realities.
