Katie Malco
+ Neev
Katie Malco is a British indie rock singer-songwriter known for her emotionally resonant and raw musical style. Malco's work captures the intricate balance between vulnerability and strength, reflecting personal experiences with striking honesty. Her debut album 'Failures' has been celebrated for its lyrical depth and evocative melodies, while the album is a cathartic journey through Malco's formative years, addressing themes of adolescence, trauma, and growth. With her distinctive voice and relatable storytelling, Malco continues to carve out a unique space in the indie rock landscape.
Originally from Glasgow, singer-songwriter Neev writes beautiful songs that stay with you.
Whilst her lyrics set out on broad themes - identity, existential angst, quarter-life-crises - Neev has a remarkable knack for discovering beauty in the small details.
Her EP ‘Currants’ was released on Trapped Animal in 2021 and played on BBC 6 Music by Tom Robinson and BBC Radio 1 on Sian Eleri's Chillest Show and Power Down Playlist. Neev also performed tracks from Currants live and televised for the BBC Introducing x Celtic Connections Showcase at Saint Luke's in Glasgow.
Neev has released her debut album Katherine, a collection of intricate indie-folk songs that pack a lyrical punch and recieved four stars from the Daily Express. Tracks from the record have already been played on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 6 and BBC Radio Scotland. Others have featured on Mark Radcliffe’s BBC Radio 2 Folk Show and named BBC Introducing Track of the week on Scotland's Travelling Folk show.

Katie Malco writes music that sits quietly somewhere between an aching, serene sadness and a hopeful determination. She mourns her past and lays it out on the table for all to see, exposed with twitching nerves.

Malco's most recent EP is a bold collection of piano based compositions recorded live in an old studio hall. The EP, 'Tearing Ventricles', was released on Alcopop! Records.
