Released in 2016, In A New Bed is the debut EP by Matt Maltese, offering an early glimpse into the melancholic wit and rich romanticism that would define his later work. With sparse instrumentation and lush piano arrangements, the EP creates an intimate space where themes of longing, isolation, and quiet beauty unfold. Songs like “Studio 6” and the title track “In A New Bed” showcase Maltese’s flair for cinematic melancholy and poetic lyricism, while “Paper Thin Hotel,” a Leonard Cohen cover, pays homage to one of his key influences. It’s a short but poignant introduction to a distinct voice in modern songwriting.
