English Teacher - Nearly Daffodils / Nearly Daffodils (Matt Maltese Rework) RSD 2026

A limited Record Store Day 2026 7" release, this striking vinyl pairs English Teacher’s acclaimed track “Nearly Daffodils” with an exclusive reinterpretation, “Nearly Daffodils (Matt Maltese Rework),” offering two distinct yet complementary perspectives on one of the band’s most compelling songs.

On the A-side, English Teacher deliver their original version of “Nearly Daffodils,” a richly textured and emotionally intelligent piece that showcases their signature blend of poetic lyricism, dynamic instrumentation, and understated intensity. It’s the kind of track that lingers—subtle at first, then increasingly powerful with each listen.

Flipping to the B-side, singer-songwriter Matt Maltese reimagines the track through his own distinctive lens. The “Nearly Daffodils (Rework)” strips things back into a more intimate, melancholic space, highlighting lyrical fragility and melodic nuance while reshaping the emotional contours of the original.

Pressed on 7" vinyl for Record Store Day 2026, this release is a collector’s essential—bridging indie rock craft and understated piano-led songwriting in a way that feels both rare and deeply considered. A must-have for fans of either artist, and for anyone drawn to reinterpretation done with genuine artistic intent.
