salvia palth

Daniel Johann Lines (born 1996), known professionally as salvia palth (stylised in lowercase), is a New Zealand indie rock musician. He is best known for his 2013 album Melanchole, which he created at the age of 15. The album gained little traction upon its release, but later became viral online. This prompted Johann to release his second album, Last Chance to See, in June 2024. He has an unreleased album on platforms like SoundCloud and YouTube called Voices. Despite this success, Johann does not play live shows and prefers to not use expensive equipment or studios.

The name salvia palth came from a play on words from the famous poet, Sylvia Plath, and the stimulant, salvia. He has also released music under the names Adore, 1996 and Daniel Johann.

The person featured on the album cover of Melanchole is Briann Bermingham, Daniel's friend and member of the band Lacebark.
