about

Elusive Melbourne-based artist Maliblue releases Hex - a ‘yoga house’ styled collage of samples, found sounds and percussive overdubs. Hex is a stunningly exploratory album - a record symbolising “movement and achieving zen through accepting ongoing chaos” best showcased in singles Trykt and Dual.

Influenced by accelerationist pop, disco and lo-fi house, the record symbolises a dramatic tonal, personal and artistic shift for Maliblue, having previously released cassettes with iconic vaporwave labels Adhesive Sounds and 永遠に B O G U S // COLLECTIVE.

A gorgeous mix of tender samples, minimal instrumentation and numeric/thematic obsessions (each track is a duration of several minutes + “33 seconds”), the album marks Maliblue’s first release on Melbourne label, Healthy Tapes. As fitting in IKEA as it is in a club, Hex recalls the nostalgic melancholy of Moby, the steady purposefulness of Khruangbin, and everything in between.
