Malachai are a Bristol based duo, [allegedly] discovered by Portishead’s Geoff Barrow, and this ‘Return to the Ugly Side’ is their second outing. A sequel, if you will, to 2010’s ‘Ugly Side of Love’, this record sounds more polished, more grown-up and it wants commercial success. Where ‘Ugly Side of Love’ was lo-fi, stripped down and feeling more experimental, Return to leans more towards cultivating their sound, concentrating more on the music than the ideas.
