Today sees the release of Mal Blum’s fifth studio album You Look A Lot Like Me via Don Giovanni Records. Emphasized by big guitar hooks and crunchy distortion In celebration of release, the band reveals their “Robert Frost” video with Paste Magazine. Offering a playful take on the track’s guitar driven growl, the video features Mal’s very own pup, Broccolini.

You Look A Lot Like Me was, produced by Screaming Females’ Marissa Paternoster and mixed by engineer and Swearin’ guitarist Kyle Gilbride, is a record of internal struggle, self-effacing humor and earworm melodies. Though lyrical narrative sits at the forefront of any Mal Blum record, this collaborative effort resulted in a stripped-down, punk-influenced, indie rock record.
