In March, Mallbangs, the project of Atlanta Musician Aidy, put the finishing touches on their finest work to date. Their upcoming EP, Checking For Daggers, is the second they’ve worked on with Grouplove’s Daniel Gleason, following 2021’s Put Me Out. On Daggers, out October 14th via self-release, Aidy and Gleason take the subdued instrumentation of their prior work and pull it to new, more experimental territory. There is a sense of something being held back on Put Me Out, a tightening of the reins. This is where Aidy finally lets go, and leans into just how incandescent their music can be. 

Checking For Daggers comes from a place of contemplation, finding Aidy exploring narratives of personal affliction and identity from a new perspective. With all the hopelessness in the world, it's hard not to find yourself feeling and thinking existentially. To combat this, Aidy leaned on their community as a means of survival. There is always community inherent among those who create art and music, and the Atlanta music scene was no different. Checking for Daggers features appearances from Connor Dowd (Lunar Vacation) as well as Benjamin Homola and Daniel Gleason (Grouplove).
