What once was once, but now it's never again. They called your bluff, and now you're just living in - your own device. Though it might have seemed nice. You're out of time. Say goodnight, goodnight. Say goodbye, goodbye. And now you see, what only the eye (I) can see. There's more to learn, but not before catching your breath. We know what's right, right in front of your eyes. You're out if time. Say goodnight, goodnight. Say goodbye, goodbye.

Half-nine rendezvous, our last day We walk toward waves, In a rain too light to mind. From a whisper to a roar, exchanging metaphors. I, as the night loch tide, Leave without you. Legs times two entwined, serpent to a vine. For now we live.

Intento atrapar al viento Mientras tu sonrisa se disuelve Entre mis dedos Estira los brazos al cielo Los años ya no son tan lentos Todo pasa mientras se respira Intentas detener el tiempo Con todas tus lagrimas, las que seco y nunca terminan Los recuerdos pertenecen al olvido

To evolve and to survive Wolves and sheep Dress alike

When we play, we play all day in a way that you'd say, that it's wrong but we like it. Spin upon this solid ground, we have found quite a space we erase with our sound. And when we play we feel so high, way up in the sky like a girl with some diamonds. Love it, leave it, we proceed to perceive that this need will persist, and we like it. We all do what we will do. And we all try to just get through. We all do what we will do.

Corazon Sin Sangre Corazon Que no late El grito que callas sin deseos Los pasos sin huella, sin sentido Todo se aleja en el mar Reloj sin arena, sueños en olvido Sentir que todo lo has perdido Cartas en mano, dejarlo al destino Corazon Sin Sangre Corazon Que no late El miedo que callas sigue vivo Los años que pasan sin motivos Todo es arena sin el mar Con ojos cerrados cruzas el camino Los besos que nunca has vivido Tira las cartas, crear tu destino

Open heart, fatal flaw Open mind, addictive thoughts Chemical, lovely numb Feelings swell, gentle swoon Open flaw, fatal heart Open thoughts, addictive mind Feeling numb, gentle swell Chemical, lovely swoon.

about

New York City-based psychedelic dream-gaze outfit MALKA are releasing their debut EP 'The Constant State' on March 2, 2015. Recorded at both APT Studio (NYC) and Elohino studio (NJ), mixed by Darko Saric, and mastered at 825 Studios by Grammy Award-winning engineer Butch Jones (Madonna, Talking Heads, Iggy Pop, The Gun Club, B-52s), The Constant State takes listeners on a genre-melding journey, ebbing and flowing through the realms of dreampop, post-rock, nugaze, and psychedelic rock.

The songs are evocative both musically and lyrically, touching on metaphysical, existential and interpersonal subject matter with an honesty that resonates to an emotional core. Their music is a reflection of the triumph and tragedy of the world, compelling us to look deeper into the realms of our consciousness. Malka is trying to stretch the concept of songs to make them sound more like emotional lapses of time.

The vocal melodies assume an instrumental form and transcend language, adding transparency to bilingual Spanish-English lyrics shared between three lead vocalists.

The Constant State is available on Bandcamp and will also be available as a digital release in iTunes and streaming through Spotify, Rdio, etc.


"A sonic landscape full of psychedelic impressions, stunning emotive shoegaze & dreampop flair"
Del Chaney, Primal Music Blog / Primal Radio

“Right at the edge of nugaze, moving it and reshaping it. Somewhere between Sigur Ros, Pink Floyd and Mogwai”
Producer Marc Joy (Mike Peters, Bernard Butler, Golden Fable)

"Easiest described as shoegaze or dreampop, certainly taking on both genres to beautiful effect"
Deadly Music

“A brilliant blend of shoegazer, dreampop and post-rock”
Pedro Damian, Shoegazer Alive

"Covering the listener in a soft caress of aural intoxication... melding folds of echoing guitars and synths"
Emerging Indie Bands Blog
