Rising songwriter and illustrator, Malice K, features on this edition of The Cover as part of our continued effort to promote emerging talent worldwide. Every week, a new artist is selected to highlight their work, and Malice K, born Alex Konschuh, is this week’s spotlight. Find the full interview with Malice K here.
To mark the occasion, Malice K has curated a playlist titled “Currently In Rotation”. Among the selection are tracks from music legends such as The Beatles, Elliott Smith, Roy Orbison and Irma Thomas. Listen to the playlist on Spotify or Apple Music.
In September 2021, the Brooklyn-based artist released his single “PHD” after signing with renowned label Jagjaguwar (home to Bon Iver and Unknown Mortal Orchestra). His debut album is expected to drop later in the year, following the mini-album “Harm Or Heck” and its 2019 successor, “Clean Up On Aisle Heaven”.
In an interview with NME, Malice K spoke about his difficult journey to this point, battling homelessness and emotional barriers along the way. “I’ve just been hurtling through space since I was a young a teenager. It felt like nothing was ever going to work out, but everything that’s brought me to this point has been important.” Now, Konschuh is focused on enjoying the present and looking forward to what the future holds.
