To The Cloud-Cuckoo Land Of Color Wheels
Malesh
2026 – UP015
Dark Companion Records is thrilled to welcome this extraordinary band to its roster. This album marks their debut on Unifaun Productions. To The Cloud-Cuckoo Land of Color Wheels is the third album by Malesh, a wyrd folk project from Tuscia. Written and recorded by Pablo Monterisi and Martino Petrella at Viburnum Studio (Monterano), with visuals and costumes by Roman artist Rebecca D’Angelo, the album represents a clear departure from their earlier work. Built from layered found sounds — assembled, dismantled, and reshaped over two years — it features nine diverse tracks following five Etruscan spirits through the ruins of a lost world, blending ancient traditions with imagined cultures.
