about

Malvin Moskalez ‘Ghosts’ is a thing of wonder. Using the tried and tested template of an acoustic guitar and strong vocals, Moskalez demonstrates that simplicity goes a long way.
‘Ghosts’ goes straight for the heart, ties a bow around it and gives you strength to fight whatever life throws at you. It’s a song about the demons in one’s head, the little voices who can make the ground shake relentlessly beneath your feet. It’s a stunning track that should appeal to fans of Bon Iver’s debut album, Jose Gonzalez, Ben Howard, Damien Rice, …
Malvin Moskalez is the nom de plume of Nico Goethals (Ghent, 1973). Behind this stage name lies a touching, personal story: “My grandmother, Malvina Tweckhuizen, ran a pub in Ghent. It was a people’s pub, whose patrons would come for a chat, a glass of the good stuff and a bit of fun. This high-spirited environment was in stark contrast to the life of my maternal grandmother, Tatiana Moskalez, a Russian-Ukrainian who, following two world wars, ended up in Belgium with a hard life behind her. The duality of pleasure and pain is something I also live with. The name Malvin Moskalez is a tribute to my roots, to two women without whom I would not be here today.”
Malvin Moskalez debut album will be released through [PIAS] Recordings later in the year.

lyrics

Are you out tonight
Can I say that I might
Worry
About you
Keep those ghosts out of sight
They will hunt you if you hide
For the darkness
Inside
Can I still - trust my feelings
Can I fill - my lungs with joy
Can I still - search for meaning
With my eyes - closed and wide
Is it cold outside
Do you still have that light
Shining
In your heart
Feed the dog that would bite
Stick your hands out and fight
For the beauty
Kept Inside
Are you out tonight
Can I say that I might
Worry
About you

Malvin Moskalez Belgium

Moskalez debuts with his first solo LP at the tender age of 48. Moskalez is certainly not the first or the last to make such a late debut. In fact, he’s in good company: Bonnie Rait, Willie Nelson and Sheryl Crow, among others, lived rich and full lives before their careers garnered attention. After all, stories can only be told when they are ripe for the telling. ‘For the beauty kept inside' ... more
