Every time I open my music player, I find myself heading back to what I know best- Bright Eyes, Death Cab, or Radiohead. But if you told me you find Miike Snow’s “Faker” a definite song to repeat, I’d say a chance on Malbec is one worth taking. Think the mellow vibe, similar background, but with a touch of something that makes you feel like you want to be in a cozy home.

What’s so heart stealing about this band? Every song on their released free EPs, The Answering Machine, does not disappoint, especially if the listener is looking for some mellow vocals and guitar with a touch of synth. As the band created music, they released at the very same time. The Answering Machine EPs come in a series of 5 downloads, each with a little of the band’s personality shown with the tracks that are simply messages that would be left on, well, an answering machine. The full length album, Dawn of Our Age, does not fail either. Touches of trumpet even appear to semi-liven up the beat while maintaining the relatively slow and relaxing yet foot tapping beat.

These past few weeks I find myself listening to Malbec on the 24/7 basis. In the recent months the song “Summer” has skillfully made its way the top 25 played list on my music player. If there’s anything you get out of this summer, it’s finding enjoyment out of the little things of summer- popsicles, lazy days, or Malbec. – AW Music
