Lake Malawi is an indie-pop band originally from Třinec, Czech Republic created by Albert Černý in 2013 after the end of his former band Charlie Straight. Their first self-released EP “We Are Making Love Again” came out in 2015 including the popular single Chinese Trees. In 2017, the LP “Surrounded By Light” came out featuring the singles Prague (In the City), Surrounded By Light and Paris.

The name Lake Malawi is loosely inspired by Calgary, a song by Bon Iver. The wave above it symbolises the female principle in nature.

In 2015, the band performed at The Great Escape Festival (review), toured in the UK with Joel Peter (Elka) while their Czech acoustic “Furch Tour” was sold out. The most popular single from the EP Chinese Trees won the New Music Audition Poll on Amazing Radio. They have supported Mika, The Kooks and Thirty Seconds to Mars.
