Soleils 03:59
Die all the light in les soleils Two went all alone Help the sun tonight You please in a old dress Dress in line There’s a woman pray for light Voluntary come lies and all You please in the vacant stall Curse the night When you hold and dance and drink the light You re pleasing all the way alone You re pleasing all the way alone When you hold and dance and drink the light When you hold and dance and drink the light Don’t fall down there Won’t fall down there Won’t fall down Golden, golden days Buy the time, lost the maze Whole life, didn’t know A hole in the wind that the wonder can’t candy coat A hole in the wind that the wonder can’t candy coat Last licks, bitter schemes Mountains, day old queens A hole in the wind that the wonder can’t candy coat A hole in the wind that the wonder can’t candy coat A hole in the wind that the wonder can’t candy coat

Dixie 03:44
Whistling Dixie calls it a day I don’t know where to begin Hallowed faces shine far away You knock the door they let you in If a man can’t breathe And will sit alone for the day well your numbers been drawn and you can’t get along and you’re wasting Shadow boxing looser Red blood and then the blues And there’s a hole in the nest And a hole in the rest And a hole in the hole in the hole in the hole and I blame it all on princess Lena so refined as saccharine there’s a crazy hombre on the road and I wish it saved and it wish he sold sugar pants is on the phone every other night Whistling Dixie calls it a day I don’t know where to begin Hallowed faces shine far away You knock the door they let you in If a man can’t breathe And will sit alone for the day well your numbers been drawn and you can’t get along and you’re wasting nights away +3 and ive been saying

Quarentina 03:21
Falling into graveyards Sassafras and banditos too Stealing hearts Keep you undone They’ll erase you And your shadow too I’ve been too long With the graces uncommon And the further you go And the further you get Senorita Quarentina This is how you’re gonna loose your bed Senorita Quarentina This is how you’re gonna loose your bed Under there there’s somewhere we can only dream about Pick a side, rip the tide Ride the whole thing out Ordinary wishes are the ones you can’t forget This is how you’re gonna loose This is how you’re gonna loose This is how you’re gonna loose Falling into graveyards Sassafras and banditos too Stealing hearts Keep you undone They’ll erase you And the shadow too I’ve been too long With the graces uncommon And the further you go And the further you get Senorita Quarentina This is how you’re gonna loose the bed +3

The monkey says he’s gonna do The little tricks you taught him to The bleeding of the saints in song That carry on The monkey says he’s gonna pass The craven days, the golden ass The leaving of the john so long The break of dawn Oh the load has come undone Monkey bone eat the son Pray for what’s been won Monkey damn bone eat the son Days of wine and roses Stay here long Days of wine and roses Encore encore The monkey say he gonna do The little tricks you taught him to The dreaming of the saints in song That carry on

Then they’re counting souls In the naked light they are so few Never no need when they got down To get you through Beggar Louise this bird I know Never give no consolation, consolation please Simmers and sows, down on your knees Outside the window Beggar Louise this bird I know Never give no consolation, consolation please Sinners and sowers , down on their knees Outside the window And their faces on the cold damn floor Years will drag on without reason The city got lost tonight No seeds no seasons Years will drag on without reason The city got lost in fright No trees , no treason Beggar Louise this bird I know Never give no consolation, consolation please Simmers and sows, down on your knees Outside the window

about

With his debut EP, Malachi Vale delivers a collection of five dreamy tunes, matured over a long period on the dark side of the sun. An eclectic blend of blues, country -folk, Americana and jazz, superimposed on Marc Gagnon’s nostalgic deep vocals.

Malachi Vale joined force with Montreal producers Guy Kaye (Youssou N’Dour, Jean Leloup), Erik West-Millette (West Trainz, Marie-Jo Thério) and Jean Massicotte (Adam Cohen, Patrick Watson, Alejandra Ribera).
