Berlin’s Meagre Martin are back with their first new music since releasing their debut album last year. “Malcolm” is a hazy dreampop earworm inspired by 2000s-era FOX family comedy Malcolm in the Middle that has a little more crunch than what we’re used to from the band
Meagre Martin say: “We grew up watching Malcolm in the Middle; something about it has always felt like home. The financial instability the parents face feels very familiar, yet the vibrancy they portray resonates. Malcolm’s struggle to climb out of generational trauma and poverty is relatable. This song embraces a different vibe than our previous releases, delivering a more powerful, guitar-driven sound that echoes the spirit of rebellion and resilience in the lyrics.” You can watch the video below.
The band will be in NYC this week for New Colossus Festival, and we’re excited they’re playing the BrooklynVegan showcase at Knitting Factory at Baker Falls on Thursday (3/7) with Prewn, La Sécurité, Holiday Ghosts, MX Lonely, NOBRO, Robber Robber and Silent Mass. You can get in with a New Colossus badge or buy a ticket.
Meagre Martin also play New Colossus on Friday at Pianos (10:45 PM) and will then head to Austin for SXSW. All dates are below.
