Heather Maloney & friends celebrate the release of her new album, "Exploding Star", at the beloved 20 Front Street in Lake Orion, MI, with support from the wonderful Charlotte Morris!Massachusetts-based “writer song-singer” Heather Maloney found music in the midst of three years at a meditation center, honing a sound moored in days of silent reflection and reverence for storytellers like Joni, Rilke, Ken Burns, and the anonymous authors of Zen parables. While she eventually traded the quiet, structured life of a yogi for the kinetic life of a touring musician, the core of her songwriting has remained centered around same curiosity about our inner world and the desire to articulate it through storytelling.
With over 1,000 international shows and 8 studio albums under her belt, she is now on the brink of releasing her 9th and most personal record to date, “Exploding Star” (out January 31, 2025). Written in the wake of her father’s death, “Exploding Star” is a collection of 12 songs that Maloney originally had no intentions of recording or releasing until some of her closest friends and family convinced her otherwise.
From tracking for 2 days in her abandoned childhood home, to playing her father’s guitar throughout the record, “Exploding Star” is packed with the sonic, lyrical and emotional details of a life story — and the result is something celebratory and heartbreaking all at once.
With production from Darlingside’s Don Mitchell and arrangements from High Tea’s Isabella DeHerdt and Isaac Eliot, “Exploding Star” is a dynamic listening experience that moves thoughtfully through landscapes that range from lush to sparse — sometimes driving, urgent and cathartic and other times quiet, tremulous and reflective — but always woven together with lyricism that bravely and articulately explores both the darkest depths and the unexpected moments of lightness that grief can bring.
