Malachi Vale presents his first EP “Swan song”. His music is an eclectic blend of blues, folk, country, americana and jazz. His voice and style can remind Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen, but the music is uniquely his own. He worked for this project with Montreal producers Erik West-Millette (West Trainz, Marie-Jo Thério), Guy Kaye (Youssou N’Dour, Jean Leloup, Cirque du Soleil) and Jean Massicotte (Adam Cohen, Patrick Watson, Alejandra Ribera).

A collection of dreamy, kaleidoscopic tunes tinged with the tone of an analogue yesteryear. The songs feel nostalgic yet contemporary, roaring headlong through the bramble, gavotte and twist. Delta Sahara, vague travelogues where blind fingers conduct animal orchestras.

Behind Malachi Vale is Marc Gagnon, a Montreal-born musician, songwriter and visual artist. He has exhibited and lived in many cities (Paris, Berlin, London – UK) . Malachi Vale is a new project, but Marc Gagnon is not a beginner.

In the early 21st century, he fronted the alt punk country swing ensemble Pipo Fiasco. The band released 3 albums between 2000 and 2006: “Omen Cats”, “33 1/3” and “PARADE”, recorded by Howard Bilerman from Arcade Fire at the studio Hotel Tutango, which received critical acclaim: “beautifully recorded, diy tour de force”, Earshot; “un fiasco réussi”, VOIR.
