Matt Maltese details debut record Bad Contestant and shares warped lounge number "Like A Fish"
Burgeoning singer/songwriter Matt Maltese has announced debut record Bad Contestant and shared quirky, classy new number "Like A Fish".
The 21-year-old South Londoner shares news of his long-awaited full-length just shortly after revealing his superb vid for recent single "Greatest Comedian" (we spoke to him about it all).
Bad Contestant was recorded with producer Jonathan Rado (Foxygen, The Lemon Twigs, Father John Misty) at Rado's own LA studios. It includes updated editions of tracks such as "Strange Time" and "As The World Caves In".
Maltese kicks off a UK tour with Isaac Gracie on 11 April at Manchester's Gorilla, before a few festival dates and a headline show at London's Scala. Find out more.
