Mallrat has announced her debut album, ‘Butterfly Blue’.
“I’ve always valued music that is interesting, beautiful, and unpretentious,” Mallrat explains. “Something timeless and not reactive. ‘Butterfly Blue was made with that in mind. It’s a demonstration of not pretending to be anyone else.”
Set for release on 13th May, it comes alongside a new taster of the record, ‘Teeth’.
“I like to think that if ‘Teeth’ was out in 2004, it would be on the OC soundtrack,” she continues. “In the song, I describe a big, omnipresent ‘it.’ When I wrote these lyrics, I was playing with the idea that we talk about sex, prayer, violence, and power with very similar language. I wanted to see if I could blur all of these things into one blurry ball of energy.”
Following up on the already revealed ‘our Love’ and ‘Rockstar’, a full track listing for the record is to follow, including the promise of “some truly iconic collaborators”.
Mallrat is set to hit the road later this year, where she’ll be supporting Conan Gray on his EU and UK dates. You can catch her at:
