Part 60s rock/part trip hop with a whole lot of other styles thrown in, Malachai's debut, The Ugly Side of Love is magical trip not unlike The Avalanches Since I Left You. Every minute seems to jump through time and space. It's not timeless so much as it is timefull.
It starts with a soulful homage to classic 70s film "The Warriors" and heads in about a million different directions over the next 12 tracks, finding its peak at the Zombies-esque "Another Sun" on which record crackle gives it a special nostalgic feel.
