Katie Malco & mui zyu

mui zyu is a British/Hong Kong artist based in London who crafts music that feels like stepping

into a dream – where delicate melodies, haunting textures, and surreal storytelling blur the lines

between reality and fantasy. Drawing inspiration from her parents’ Cantonese record collection,

video game soundtracks and film scores, her sound is both intimate and cinematic, dark yet full

of hope. Her lyrics explore themes of cultural displacement, escapism, and alienation, creating a

world that is abstract yet deeply personal. The Guardian describes the mui zyu world as

“playful pop that’s left-field and tender, dissonant and melodic all at once… crafting her own

absurd, beautiful home.”


Critically acclaimed for her distinct artistic voice, mui zyu has released two records with US label

Father/Daughter Records, as well as an EP of Cantonese songs. She has performed shows in

Europe, North America and East Asia.


With a new record currently in the works, mui zyu continues to expand her unsettling sonic

universe.



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 2020’s ‘Failures’, has

been celebrated for its lyrical depth and evocative melodies, drawing

comparisons to artists like Julia Jacklin, Phoebe Bridgers, and Julien Baker.

With her distinctive voice and heartfelt storytelling, Malco continues to carve

out a unique space in the indie rock landscape, releasing well-crafted music

and touring in the UK, Europe and USA alongside the likes of Bob Mould,

Laura Stevenson, Julien Baker, Hurray for the Riff Raff, Alvvays, SOAK, Fenne

Lily, and REM’s Peter Buck. Malco now returns with new music, collaborating

with Laura Stevenson, SOAK, and mui zyu on a string of singles that have

received praise from NPR, Line of Best Fit, Stereogum, Paste and more,

alongside plays from BBC Radio.
