Cinematic Stoner Rock Meets Folk in Mal Hombre’s Latest Single, ‘When It Rains’

Posted on 4 June 2021

Any fans of Mazzy Star will want to tune into Mal Hombre’s latest single, When It Rains, featuring vocals from Coco SaFir. The soft blues slides and bends in the intro give way to a creeping soundscape that will allow you to imagine what the soundtrack would sound like if Tarantino and Lynch Co-Produced a film.

Coco SaFir’s vocals perfectly complement Mal Hombre’s fragile yet resoundingly cinematic instrumental style as it flows through a myriad of stylistic twists and turns. With the soft saxophones as the track gears up for a psychedelic outro, you won’t need to smoke to get high with this 70s-inspired stoner rock track that also introduces elements of folk, jazz and synthpop.

When It Rains is one of those tragically rare singles that compels you to crank up the volume until you can’t quite tell if you’re absorbing the single or it is absorbing you. It’s quite literally a breathtaking single that we couldn’t speak more highly of.

You can check out Mal Hombre via his website or Facebook.

Make It Big: Mal Hombre is impressively galvanizing on debut track ‘Dig That Hole’

Posted on 24 March 2021

With an ominous thump to start proceedings, Mal Hombre grabs that shovel tightly with this heavy soundtrack to wake up your senses, on the debut track ‘Dig That Hole‘.

Mal Hombre is a new indie rock act that brings in terrifying vocals and guitar solos for the ages, that will scare and electrify you at the same time. This is music that is all about shocking the life out of you, as it delves deeper into your fragile soul.

This is the story of how the world is in a massive hole right now and we need to dig ourselves out of it rather quickly, before we suffocate from the lack of sensible air, that should be filling our lungs with life.

They rage in with a powerful sound, each note is hit with authority and meaning, as they make an impact with a debut release that certainly is creepy and has you listening to each second rather closely.

‘Dig That Hole‘ from the Tarantino-inspired musician Mal Hombre, is a movie-like rage of sounds that is fitting for current times. They bring forth a soundtrack that pretty much sums up the world, as we look for leadership inside us to show us the way, where others have failed miserably to lead us into the right direction during apocalyptic times.

Stream the debut single on Soundcloud and find out more on IG.
