“Debut EP from CIAO MALZ, the acclaimed project from Brooklyn-based Filipino-American artist Malia DelaCruz with James Chrisman (Sister.) and Felix Walworth (Told Slant / Florist)”
From symphonic darkness to post-punk apocalypse, indie's edges are burning bright: The Darts conjure "symphonic darkness" on The Fabrics of Yarns, while Chris of Wilderness cruises through the apocalypse with paranoid electronics and burning poetics on War Horny. SMIC leaves the noise behind for something quieter and heavier on The Upside (Of Losing Everything), and The Lazy I performs haunting alt-folk with rare gentleness on Leave No Trace (restrung 2025). Padded Waltz gives shame and insecurity their own voice on Hand Me Down.
