Pretty But Wicked presents French artist Malibu, with an opening set by ESP. **Malibu** is a French composer and vocalist whose art is bound to meditation. A musician by trade but an allegorist in practice, her compositions exist as fragments of an imagination as wide as the sea and as open as the sky above it. Loose threads of drone, neoclassical, dance, and pop are woven within contexts of introspection and evanescence. Between these threads is a sonic lexicon entirely her own. Muted pianos and soaring woodwinds sit atop deep, dense waves of strings and pads. Her vocals, a cast of whispers, shift from intimate spoken word passages, long vocalized breaths, and gasps that feel like instruments in their own right. What culminates is a sanctuary for romantic musings on cities, seas, and the self to take place comfortably—ephemerally so, but everlasting all the same. **ESP** is a musical duo based in New York, USA, consisting of Donovan William Lally (Ultra Pure Whip) and Zephyr Maliki (Zephyr). The duo was formed in 2020 in Massachusetts.
