Mallrat


Aotearoa/New Zealand’s BENEE and Australia’s Mallrat have joined forces to release the Official Song for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™, ‘Do It Again’. Could there ever be such a perfect collaboration? Fittingly, the football competition takes place across Australian and New Zealand throughout July and August and the collaboration between the antipodean über pop …

The new video from icon Mallrat is for a track that prowls and circles like a caged animal. ‘Teeth’ is off her magnificent debut ‘Butterfly Blue’ (out through Dew Process) released earlier this year (see my review here). Displaying a fuzzier harder edge then previous releases, this is a driving anthemic delight that catches reflections off …

Last year’s debut album from Mallrat, ‘Butterfly Blue’ (reviewed by me here), is a brilliant collection of pure unadulterated pop: shimmering glowing tracks that emit rays of golden sunshine. The album showcased Mallrat’s Grace Shaw’s beautiful vocals and poetry. A stunning debut. Her voice has the range and velvet tones of Dusty Springfield: soft and yet …

It’s hard to believe ‘Butterfly Blue’ (out through Dew Process) is Mallrat‘s debut album. She has graced us with two stunning EPs and a series of brilliant singles that have illustrated her perfect amalgam of feisty yet achingly beautiful tracks that seamlessly drift between pure pop, indie rock and rap (sometimes all within one song), …

Brisbane pop queen Mallrat‘s brilliant EP ‘Driving Music’ (reviewed by me here) and a world tour in 2019 were all followed by a matter of mere months by the horror show of 2020 and 2021. Mallrat did drop a single ‘Rockstar in 2020 but it is great to see her back with her new single …

Brisbane’s fabulous Mallrat has just finished her US tour with an incandescent performance of her song ‘Charlie‘ off her EP ‘Driving Music’ on the Late, Late Show with James Corden. This is on the eve of a European tour throughout November: Such an incredibly beautiful rendition with a live band – it sends chills down …

Brisbane and Queensland in general is undeniably a hotbed of talent, and one of the most preeminent examples of this is the pure pop musings of Grace Shaw, under the guise of Mallrat. Mallrat’s new EP, ‘Drive’ is an evolution of the style and creativity of this phenomenal artist. Back in February 2018, we reviewed …

Mallrat‘s development as an important and iconic Australian artist is never more apparent than in her exquisite new song, ‘Charlie’. With a formidable live show and a history of what may unfairly be called melodic bubble gum pop, ‘Charlie’ signals a maturity with its deep-felt sense of yearning and nostalgia way beyond Mallrat’s years. Charlie …

Mallrat is the project of Brisbane resident Grace Shaw who has been receiving a great deal of well-deserved interest – firstly across Australia and now internationally. Mallrat has been selected to play at the legendary SXSW and will be doing some dates in the US to coincide. Her new release, ‘UFO ft Allday’ represents well …
