Released in 2020, Madhouse is a tender and introspective EP by Matt Maltese that expands on his signature blend of bittersweet lyricism and lush, piano-driven arrangements. Across six tracks, the EP explores emotional vulnerability, unrequited affection, and existential reflection, wrapped in dreamy instrumentation and warm, lo-fi textures. The title track “Madhouse” stands out with its wry take on mental unraveling in a modern world, while songs like “Hi” and “Little Person” showcase Maltese’s talent for delicate, emotionally rich songwriting. Madhouse finds him refining his sound into something even more intimate and affecting.
