Five Minutes With: Indie Artist The Other Malcolm

The Other Malcolm is an artist based in Calgary. They rarely leave their home and very much like to keep to themselves. The Other Malcolm creates music rooted in psychedelic funk, southern rock, alternative hip hop, and soul. Themes of introversion, vices, independence, mental health, and escapism run through their work. Portrayed by an extension cable with a yellow robe named T.O.M., The Other Malcolm is finally ready to help people escape.
