TIM PARR - MALACHI’S DREAM
Malachi’s Dream is the long awaited new EP from legendary South African singer-songwriter Tim Parr, celebrated founder of seminal bands Baxtop, Ella Mental, and Zap Dragons. This evocative collection reasserts Parr’s enduring relevance and creative vitality in the South African music scene, blending poignant lyricism with bold sonic textures. True to his roots, Parr weaves introspection and social commentary through five standout tracks. The title song, Malachi’s Dream, is a lush, soaring piece that nods to the atmospheric style of Noel Gallagher’s ‘High Flying Birds’. Green World offers a vibrant
psych-pop reflection on climate change, both urgent and whimsical. Two Sides (Of the Same Coin) delivers Beatles-esque charm - scruffy, melodic, and instantly memorable. And with You Light Me a Light, a raw, emotionally charged tribute to James Phillips, Parr bares his soul in one of his most affecting performances to date. With Malachi’s Dream, Tim Parr not only honours his storied past but forges confidently ahead, offering his strongest material since his acclaimed solo album Still Standing
