Producer K.C. Maloney spends a lot of time indoors. In fact, his new EP is somewhat of a tribute to that... and more. An offhand comment, "made me realize how much time I spend indoors with the blinds closed, working on music like some kind of unintentional vampire situation," says Maloney of the title's meaning. "It’s also a reference to the theme of the EP as a whole — people who are living in fear of the outside world or who are stuck inside their own heads because of tragic events in their past."
Under the moniker Adult Karate, Maloney records at home in a spare bedroom turned studio, which is his ideal situation. "Writing and recording music is what I’ve wanted to do as far back as I can remember, so when I’m in the studio mucking around with guitars, synths, and microphones I am in heaven." The EP's origins trace far back into Maloney's past, starting with “From The Dust," which is the first track and also the first song he wrote for it. "I adapted the lyrics from something I wrote years ago when I was an angry, closeted teenager. Then I wrote and recorded the music over a few days in late August 2016. It had a more upbeat sound than the other stuff I was doing, which was pretty exciting because it was something new for me."
As for his overall goal for the EP and Adult Karate project at large, Maloney says he wants the music to act as a tool for those who turn it on. "I want to give listeners something they can dance to alone in their bedroom after a bad breakup or other tragic situation. Something they can use to 'smile through the pain,' but where both the smile and the pain are equally real."
