Mal Blum has announced a new EP, Ain’t It Nice, their first project since the 2019 full-length Pity Boy. Blum worked on the EP with producer Kyle Andrews, piecing it together virtually. Lead single “Stockpiled Guns & TV Dinners” is twangy and warm. “If any of the songs were written directly under the boulder of isolation, it’s this one,” Blum said in a statement. “An analysis of collective priority, individuality, security and consumerism. The thesis that, try as one might: you can’t beg, barter or buy your way out of it.” Listen below.
