Reverie (2012)
Malon, (rhymes with alone) were a band from San Diego that were active from 2012 to 2013 (i think).
I found out about them when i heard flowers taped to pens cover "your invitation" by malon.
Upon spending too much time on the internet i found out that Connie (FTTP, Avari, Meryl Streaker, Rene Descartes, Seeyouspacecowboy, S//A Records) was friends with someone from Malon in high school. (is it weird that i know that, probably)
Malon are the reason i finally watched requiem for a dream (they sample it a bunch and the album art for Portraits of Dying is from the movie).
They've got a lot of heavy shit and a lot of not heavy shit. I'm bad at describing bands.
What i like the most about malon are how sincere they sound.
My favorite Malon album is Reverie, (pictured above)

Under a Red Sky is a beautiful song and fucks me up a bit every time i listen. I miss hearing them for the first time and being floored listen after listen. Not many bands do that to me anymore, i think i've become jaded, maybe i was just a more emotional person at 15-16.
I miss those days.
I posted some Malon song on youtube and have been pestered by people wanting the files ever since. I actually made a really good friend that way and I miss him dearly.

There may be some stuff I posted about up on there you may be into (or not, I don't really know) so check it out if you get a chance. Keep the posts coming, and thanks for taking the time and making the effort to do this blog, which I'm glad I recently came across.

Wow, it seems like Malon is kinda being rediscovered. This is incredible. I first listened to them about 4 years ago, but never downloaded their album. 2 years ago I scourged the internet for a download of Portraits of Dying, and found one on some shitty half-english ZIP site. I'm really glad to see someone is writing about them, hope other people will find their tunes. They're incredible :-)
