COLLECTIVE **and** FAMILY DOG!** _"The Aether"_ is a lively and upbeat shot of acoustic adrenaline, which showcases Malcura’s signature musical blend of upbeat Spanish guitars with a diverse range of driving rhythms and, for the first time in the band’s career, lyrics! Fresh from their maiden tour of Europe, which saw the band perform 37 shows in 35 days, including performances at Glastonbury Festival and the Montreux Jazz Festival, Malcura will be touring in support of “The Aether” this summer with performances across Australia, kicking off with the Single Launch at Shotkickers on 23 January 2026! _“The Aether” _marks the band’s first new release since their EP ‘Flamenco Metal’ in 2022 and celebrates the contributions of original Malcura guitarist, Steven “BV” Angell, who co-wrote and performed on the song. “The Aether” is a reflection of the new direction the band hopes to continue pursuing with new guitarist Jenna Campbell on board.  Speaking of the release, Malcura guitarist, Joshua Voce, noted: “This is our first foray into vocals and lyrics! We are really excited about this release and can’t wait to share with the world a new side of the band. It was great to have BV on board for the music video and exciting to pay tribute to him and reflect on such a key part of our history as a band whilst looking forward into the unknown.. Or should we say.. into the Aether!” _"The Aether"_ will be available on 16 January 2026 via Bandcamp and all streaming platforms.
