minneapolis shoegaze / emo trio malamiko stretch the definition of their genres, shaking you awake with feedback and noise. cynicism and hope fuel their debut all pleasant dreams in equal measure. "[malamiko] carved out a space in Minneapolis with an ambitious debut and some sold-out tapes. Seven tracks of heavy, tender, hopeful, breathless dreaming showcase their range and depth in one swoop." (post-trash)

Fend is trying to tell you something. It might be a secret, it might be familiar wisdom. It could even be everything. The Minneapolis quartet, featuring guitarist/vocalist Josie Villano, guitarist John O’Brien, bassist/vocalist Kate Malanaphy, and drummer Abe Anderson, has covered miles of ground over two EPs and two years. Songs are about cats, but they’re also about rising to the love we receive and overcoming the fear that we’re undeserving. Songs are about partners and friends and whiskey-free Cokes, but they’re also about breaking through the suffocating ice of time’s passage and breathing in the frozen air — alive, questioning, and smiling despite it.
