MALI MALI (BalconyTV)
- 5 years ago
PRESENTED BY SIR-VERE BROUGHT TO YOU IN ASSOCIATION WITH notourfuture.co.nz & ripitup.co.nz
After parting ways with his original band in early 2010, Auckland based singer/songwriter Ben Tolich found new freedom in building songs
and sounds on his own with an uninhibited state of mind. This impulse to create music with an honest and authentic mood grew alongside
influence from artists such as The National, Sigur Rós and Bon Iver.
As a live band Mali Mali perform as a three-piece, not taking conventional roles and allowing members Joel Greatbatch and Peter Reid
in whatever instrument they take their hands to, resulting in a minimal but lush sound.
Recorded and produced by David Parker at Little Monster studios and crafted with the help of fellow musicians Peter Reid, Andrew Madjar
and Alex Freer (Artisan Guns), Brotherly delivers stripped back and direct songs against a backdrop of contrasting atmosphere. Its subtle,
slow burning and beautiful melodies colour your imagination with instinctive sensitivity, using hints and lures more than punches or
shouts, to lasting effect.
