Malachai Fades into 2010

Bristol, England's Malachai stands in the middle of a cultural symbiosis, where punk, surf, hip-hop and psychedelia merge effortlessly in the hands of the mysterious duo of Gee and Scott.

With a name taken from the Hebrew word for "Angel," as well as the nefarious character from Stephen King's Children of the Corn, the band boasts not only an eclectic view of music, but a mentor in Portishead's Geoff Barrow, who released Malachai's Ugly Side of Love on his Invada label in the UK earlier this year.

Domino Records will release Ugly Side of Love in the U.S. on February 2, but in the meantime, the group is offering "Fading World" for public consumption.
