FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — Acclaimed drone composer Kali Malone is thrilled, or at least contractually obligated, to share that she has completed her latest masterwork. Today, Kali Malone announces Burning Song, a new studio album that will test the structural integrity of your home subwoofer. The lead single, 'Heavy With Fruit,' is available now for listeners who enjoy the sound of a cathedral organ slowly sinking into a peat bog.
A Synergy of Sonic Density
The label issued the announcement alongside a three-minute video of Malone staring blankly into a webcam. She did not speak. Instead, a low, vibrating hum emanated from her monitors for the duration of the clip. 'We are incredibly energized by this sonic trajectory,' said Marcus Bellweather, Spotify's Senior VP of Playlist Emotional Intelligence. 'The sheer marketing synergy of Kali Malone announces Burning Song allows us to target our most lucrative demographic: depressed graduate students who sleep on the floor.'
Critics already praise the record for its complete lack of tempo. Malone recorded the album using a pipe organ from the 15th century. Technicians tuned the instrument to a frequency that reportedly makes dogs howl three miles away. The campaign promises that Kali Malone announces Burning Song will mark a new era of acoustic endurance.
The Sound of Quiet Panic
Industry insiders expect the vinyl release to weigh eighteen pounds. 'The physical weight mirrors the emotional toll of the drone,' said Agnes Periwinkle, Head of Audience Sedation at Live Nation. 'We plan to pump these frequencies into stadium restrooms to discourage fans from lingering during intermission. It is highly effective.' The label expects the physical release to ship this fall on the Drag City imprint.
About the Artist
Kali Malone is a Stockholm-via-Denver composer. She specializes in making pipe organs sound like a dial-up modem struggling to connect to the afterlife. She enjoys long periods of silence, medium-tempo nods, and wearing black wool coats in the middle of July. Her previous works have been described as 'highly educational' by people who did not finish listening to them.
