Hailing from the outskirts of Liverpool, singer, multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Malthus, shot for Notion 87, creates alternative soul, that sounds like Choirs of demon cherubs, cataclysmic blues and atonal orchestral pieces.

Malthus credits his hometown and upbringing for the industrial and neoclassical influences in his work, and the underground jazz scene in Manchester for his development as a vocalist. Here, the now London-based artist, is shot by Notion favourite Francisco Gomez de Villaboa.
