NYC’s Malice K shares his new single ‘Radio’ via his new label home, Jagjaguwar. The track, which is co-produced by Issac Eiger (Hollow Comet) from Strange Ranger, showcases Malice K’s raw vulnerability and introspective lyricism with melodic tones that Elliott Smith would praise as he croons “I’m trying hard to be someone else, but someone else is already taken.”

Malice K says “’Radio’ is about feeling helpless fucked up. Not knowing whether you’re just fucked up or maybe you should do something about it.”
Malice K is an Olympia, WA born, Brooklyn-based artist who’s sonic palette is made up of 90s alt and brash lyricism, creating a rare fusion of off-kilter pop-forward indie rock. As a former member of the Artist Collective Deathproof Inc, he has amassed a cult following as an atypical artist with a capricious nature, hopping from provocative punk-thrash-rock to lyrically melodic and acoustic.
Emerging from the convergence of introspection and innovation, Malice K is a visionary musician who intricately weaves emotive narratives through his music. With a commitment to authenticity and an old-school ethos, his artistry illuminates the modern landscape. On his 2022 EP Clean Up On Aisle Heaven, FADER said “Pivoting easily from an Elliott Smith croon to an Isaac Brock bark, Malice K pushes past the usual pop pleasantries. He shows a cool disdain for the vibe he’s encapsulated so effortlessly, but his structures are studiously rendered. It’s clear he’s a disciple of the genres he seemingly scoffs at, always taking the time to read the book before he throws it away.”
