Review

Matt Maltese's "Krystal" is an intimately crafted journey through the emotional highs and lows of love, loss, and self-discovery. The tone is distinctive, ranging from introspective to melancholic, yet his charming songwriting style effortlessly intertwines sarcasm and sincerity. Standout tracks like "Tokyo" and the title "Krystal" showcase Maltese's talent for penning lyrics that are both intricate and audio-engineered with dreamy synths, vintage vibes, and emotive piano melodies.

The album's emotional authenticity shines, with songs like "Curl Up and Die" putting love's desperation and heartbreak on full display. This raw and personal element makes "Krystal" hard to resist, even with its sorrowful essence. The self-produced nature of the album in Maltese's bedroom studio adds to its genuine, honest atmosphere. The title was inspired by a mobile repair shop near his home, further merging his artistic vision with personal experiences. For those who appreciate love's complexities and pains, "Krystal" is a poignant, inventive addition to indie pop and rock. - Tara
