the island and return to sea.

Le Commandant Couche-Tôt is the brainchild of Berlin-based French keyboardist and composer Anthony Malka.  After 5 releases and 150+ gigs with his electro-funk trio The Hoo, he decided to deep digger into his own piano compositions and create the character of Le Commandant Couche-Tôt:  a fictional hipster sailor inspired by Wes Anderson, a naive explorer travelling through fantasized islands and dystopian visions.   

He released 2 critically acclaimed EPs on Nancy based French label BMM Records feat. General Elektriks, UK neo-soul legend Omar Lye-Fook, Jamiroquai drummer Nick Van Gelder, Azymuth’s bassist Alex Malheiros.
Malka received support from David Blot (Nova Club), Worldwide FM, FIP, Jeremy Sole (KCWR), Macca (NTS), Andrew Jervis (Bandcamp Weekly), le Bureau Export, Délicieuse Musique and many more.
