with a voice reminiscent of the velvety croon of scott walker, sharpened by a satirical cynical sensibility akin to father john misty, matt maltese crafts nostalgic ballads for the modern romantic. the south londoner released his debut album 'bad contestant' on atlantic records late last year to critical acclaim from the likes of nme, q magazine and billboard. maltese brings his self-declared “brexit pop” to zone one on 3/30.
