Malva

Malva is an Italian indie pop duo formed in 2018, blending dreamy soundscapes with introspective Italian lyrics. Composed of vocalist/guitarist Letizia Centioni and bassist/synth player Matteo Mobrici, the pair crafts melancholic yet danceable tracks that evoke misty coastal landscapes and late-night existential musings. Their 2021 debut album "Novembre" introduced their signature mix of reverb-drenched guitars and analog synths, featuring standout tracks like "Starless" and the drifting ballad "Un Naufrago."

Known for intimate live performances that balance raw emotion with DIY aesthetics, Malva has become a cult favorite in Europe's indie scene. Their 2023 EP "SELVA" expanded their palette with glitchy electronic textures while maintaining poetic lyricism, as heard on the hypnotic "M'imparanoio." The duo frequently collaborates with visual artists and underground musicians, cementing their role as shapeshifters in Italy's alt-pop wave.
