CIAO MALZ “Gold Rush”

CIAO MALZ is a project from Brooklyn-based Filipino-American artist Malia DelaCruz with James Chrisman (Sister.) and Felix Walworth (Told Slant / Florist). The debut EP, ‘Safe Then Sorry,’ was released via the Audio Antihero label on Dec 6th, and “Gold Rush” is one of the highlights.

“Safe Then Sorry is a rest stop on the path most traveled. I wrote the bulk of the EP after work, these stories and characters came to me subconsciously and asked to be spoken into existence. These songs are about the unlikely connections we make, how they’re simultaneously inexplicable and meaningful. I work through these contradictions with unpredictable melodies, explosive choruses, and with the recording process itself. We did everything on the fly to capture as much raw emotion as could fit in the four walls of the basement studio. I wanted the project to feel how it did when I was messing around on GarageBand on my first computer — unrestrained.“ – Malia DelaCruz (CIAO MALZ)
