mallory
At times ambient. At times rock. At times a confusing din.
Following the debut album The First One Hundred Years, recipient of the 2003 Cincinnati Entertainment Awards Album of the Year, mallory returns with the release of the new sound collage ...before it grows. Supported by Cincinnati music company, The All Night Party, …before it grows displays a triumph of ontological feats, a sound of catharsis, re-entry, a movement forward, an exhale. Attach emotion here. Listen from back there. Rhythms play upon the grammar of everyday, testing memory and rewarding patience. A song begins where one ends with no introduction prompted. Accept the invitation— you know what makes you happy."On ...before it grows, mallory has crafted a trippy, engaging exercise in sonic fluidity, stitching together seven magnetic soundscapes that roll together like a narcotic dream. The vocals and haunted melodies swim in and out of the waves of dense atmospherics... Like The Secret Machines and Autolux, mallory makes modern Psychedlic Rock for the Radiohead generation. With …before it grows, mallory has made a “Best Album of the ’00s” list contender, local or otherwise." (Mike Breen, CityBeat)
The mallory sound is not something easily described. Whatever one hears another hears differently. mallory’s brand of music and dynamic live experience has earned performances with the diverse sounds of Deerhunter, Interpol, TV On The Radio, Mates of State, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Clinic and Buffalo Killers...among others."This is quite honestly an amazing band. ...[mallory] form such a unique sound, it’s hard to categorize them into a specific genre, but they’ve got some post-punk sensibilities that really shine through. I have never been to a show where most of the people there watched the entire opening local act." (Brainlove, British zine review of live show with Interpol)"The sweeping, haunting guitar/keyboard soundscapes sound fresher than ever... Neil Young fronting Radiohead at their most experimental, but still surprisingly accessible." (Sean Rhiney, Metromix)"There is a focus on visual aspects and instrumentation, which reminds me of bands like Mogwai… and even Ampline. There’s huge, noisy walls of sound in their music, but they’re pretty damn good at hiding beautiful, intricate melodies in there as well... With their highly-toxic sonic soundscapes, bringing the worlds of darkness and beauty together, they bring a sense of what Explosions in the Sky may sound like if they had vocals. This band is the legal way to get high." (Nate Rosing, brokenmic.com)"Avant Rock: [mallory] moves from guitar-driven Post Punk to ambient moodiness, often within the same song ...look for the new record to showcase a more tripped-out, Blues-inflected feel. Dig: Deerhunter, a spacier Autolux, Explosions in the Sky fronted by Aleister Crowley." (Jason Gargano, CityBeat)
