Malandros

Milk and Cereal, released in May 2015, is the title of the newest album from June 2015 Artist Of The Month: Malandros. The 4-piece, heavy reverb, surfer rock sounds of Milk and Cereal make you want to sit out in your backyard with a piña colada and your feet dipped into hot pink kiddie pool. From the clean chops of the lead guitar to the rolling punch of the bass, Malandros’ new album has some wonderful new tunes for you to soak your head in. The song ‘Hollow Eyes’ makes you want to cruise a little red convertible on some winding roads in the middle of nowhere. This is one to definitely put the top down to, so get a good listen on below. - The Deli Magazine - Austin

Malandros is bridging the gap between classic indie pop and surf rock.

Their single "Writer's Block" is endearingly captivating with its reverberated guitars and undeniably infectious chords. The breathy vocals invoke a breezy feeling that dances atop the free-flowing instrumentals. I end up loving this song the more and more I listen to it!

Malandros are a group comprised of three locals and a Belgian, who all make music in a house next to the railroad tracks. While that may paint a picture of folk or country-loving emulators, Malandros sit comfortably in the jangle-rock spectrum instead, emitting West Coast relaxation more than down-south stylistic affection. Where these two genres often overlap is highly charismatic guitar leads, an area where Malandros certainly doesn’t lack. On new single “Beautiful Girls” they alternate between a swiftly reverbed jangle – similar to Real Estate – before launching into a more retrospective, twinkling chorus with serene backing vocals reminiscent of sonorous indie-rock acts like Beulah, Starlight Mints, and The Wrens.

The very enjoyable “Beautiful Girls” is the single off Malandros’ 6-song EP Turned Around, which you can stream in full below. Look for similar goodness on gems like “Sprinter” and “Writer’s Block”, the latter of which reminds me fondly of Ghosty tracks like “Henry Greene.“ - Obscure Sound
