Today, singer-songwriter Matt Maltese shares the latest teaser for his new album Hers, due for release on Friday, May 16th via The Orchard, in the form of new single “Buses Replace Trains.”
The song’s title was born from a conversation with a close friend about band names his Welsh uncle had suggested to him when he was a teenager, including “Buses Replace Trains.” The concept felt like the perfect basis for a sweet and earnest love song, with the grandeur of the subject matter brought to life with the swell of strings and twinkling keys. “I know it’s not the simple, but it is”, the song closes.
“There was something touching about the phrase ‘Buses Replace Trains’ out of context. It triggered of course the nostalgia of rail replacement buses in Reading growing up, but I also just couldn’t shake that it was a title for a love song. So plain and ordinary and quotidian,” Matt adds.
