Praise for MALLRAT
“Grace Shaw’s vision of pop music is vivid and vulnerable, familiar yet fresh. Debut album ‘Butterfly Blue’ is her most enthralling release yet” – NME Australia
“Mallrat’s Butterfly Blue is a record that answers Shaw’s adolescent ambitions: celestial rhapsodies, hip-hop charmed grooves, dissonant hymns and morning light ballads slot together with impeccable ease.” – Sun Herald (S Magazine Cover Story)
“‘Butterfly Blue’ is easily one of 2022’s most charming Australian pop albums” – NME Australia (4 Stars)
“Mallrat is a figurehead for a new pop movement…but ‘Butterfly Blue’ proves that she is in a league of her own.” – DORK (4 Stars)
“‘Butterfly Blue’ sees Mallrat emerge as somewhat of a transformed entity, one that is fully-grown and glimmering.” – DIY (4 Stars)

Multi-talented artist and performer MALLRAT today delivers her hotly anticipated debut record Butterfly Blue, out everywhere now via Dew Process. On her debut full-length, Mallrat — aka Grace Shaw — embodies the spirit of its titular creature, but without the delicacy that keeps you at a distance. Over a dozen clever and open-hearted tracks, she draws you in close and shows you the world through her wide, hopeful eyes.

Released alongside the record is album highlight ‘To You’, which comes fresh off the back of the year’s most unexpected collaboration ‘Surprise Me feat. Azealia Banks’ and its critically acclaimed predecessors ‘Your Love’, ‘Teeth’ and ‘Rockstar’.
The release marks a triumphant debut from Mallrat, one that solidifies her reputation as a master of clever, timeless pop. Having won early praise from the likes of triple j, The Guardian, Sydney Morning Herald, NME, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and Paper Mag, Butterfly Blue is taking Australia’s pop trailblazer global.
Mallrat’s journey to become the artist capable of making such an accomplished record has been a fascinating one – to watch and experience. Describing the metamorphosis of her favourite insect, she explains: “The transformation they undergo is almost incomprehensible. They dissolve into goo and then reconstruct themselves – but hold onto the memories of their time as a caterpillar.” A symbol of reinvention, Butterfly Blue is a full-circle moment for Mallrat.

About MALLRAT
Beginning as a bedroom project in her native Brisbane, Mallrat has evolved from cult favourite to beloved star. Channeling fears, hopes and obsessions into lyrics, her songs have become anthems for young people. With combined streams topping 300 million, she has become a beacon the Australian music industry will eagerly follow. Her trio of early EPs – ‘Uninvited’ (2016), ‘In The Sky’ (2018) and ‘Driving Music’ (2019) – are documents of an artist following an upwards trajectory. In the process of making them, Shaw swapped the Brisbane suburbs for Los Angeles, and toured both at home and internationally including European and North American supports for Maggie Rogers and King Princess, selling out headline shows from Sydney to London and New York, and collecting fans in the likes of Mark Ronson along the way.
