Album Review
Mallrat - Butterfly Blue
4 StarsThe Brisbane-based songwriter takes steps towards a bigger amalgam of influences.
From debut EP ‘Uninvited’ to breakout singles ‘Charlie’ and ‘Groceries’, Mallrat has developed a knack for constructing trip hop-tinged earworms that throb with the dull ache of navigating modern dating as a young adult.
