Alex Hall
Malice K has shared his sophomore EP, Clean up on Aisle Heaven. The Pacific Northwest native has been slowly spreading his oddball energy to eastward with a similarly endearing brand of earnest pop pastiche to that of Lucy (aka Cooper Handy, the pride of Hadley, Massachusetts).
The singles from this project, “Changes” and “Fast Car,” highlighted different zones in Malice’s eclectic range: the former a sped-up, introspective ballad reminiscent of early Alex G, the latter a moody singalong with a ’90s Britpop vibe. The full record arrived Tuesday (October 18) alongside a seasonally appropriate, spooky video for its fifth track, the synth-pop-indebted “Make the Scene,” directed by Malice himself with with videography from Cheeky Maa.
