Thalassic contains poems Malaika wrote in response to songs by the band Jakabol with whom she has frequently collaborated. Inspired by their swirling, oceanic riffs, the stories that played out between the strings. Dark and Light, deft and delicate, falling into heavy, raucous noise. Matched with colour illustrations by Andreea Diana Stan, the poems were written during the autumn of 2018. Thalassic was first published as a limited edition in 2020.
