Matt Maltese's sixth studio album is his most insular and intimate to date, and his first fully self produced effort since second album Krystal. Hers exists in a twilight world, pairing heartfelt songwriting and dry witticism with the gentle quiver of strings, a flourish of woodwind or the sound of a creaking old piano. Though its wounds may still feel tender to the touch, Maltese made Hers with several years’ perspective on the events that inspired it, processing the complexities of a serious romantic relationship and its ending through the rearview.
