Simplicity

Dr M this has become one of my go to albums for the office. it is simply a work of art. Those who only bought after Matt announced he was signing a few copies... shame on you for being a choad and not taking a chance on something fantastic without the carrot. Favorite track: Good Sport.

Tom Rimshot Matt has fashioned an entire soundworld of his own, which is always transparent about its influences, and yet still manages to be completely unique. I could listen to 'Top Brass Two' for hours.

about

Following the recent release of the outstanding ‘Top Brass’ single, Matt Berry will release a further unique collaboration with esteemed Library Music label KPM: the full-length album ’Simplicity’, out 17 November 2023.

KPM is renowned for providing the musical bedrock for so many classics of British TV and international cinema, using the best British composers - such as Keith Mansfield, Alan Hawkshaw, John Cameron and Alan Moorhouse - to do so. ’Simplicity’ follows in the footsteps of these giants and is a worthy successor to them.

Alongside his formidable acting career, Matt Berry has released a series of acclaimed albums on the Acid Jazz label. Ranging from the folk stylings of Kill The Wolf, the ambient electronica of Music For Insomniacs, to the psych rock of Blue Elephant, these have marked Berry out as an impressive musician and recording artist in his own right. 
Embodying the form of KPM’s original LPs geared towards film and television pitching, the album consists of 11 sharp and vibrant instrumentals, which will no doubt be heard in productions for many years to come.

Released in special collaboration with Acid Jazz, the album is presented in a beautiful graphic sleeve, with notes that allude to the original KPM releases, for something that is instantly hip and familiar, yet unmistakably new.

“Being a lifelong fan of KPM Records it was an honour to be asked to contribute to such a prestigious label with an amazing body of work featuring some of the sharpest composers, arrangers and players in town. I’m an imposter.” – Matt Berry

“We’re delighted to welcome Matt to KPM as a composer. Matt’s passion for the KPM catalogue is apparent throughout Simplicity. It blends the recording techniques and instrumentation of the 1960/70s ‘Greensleeves’ collection with Matt’s unique writing style.” – Jack Lewis, KPM

Great record. wears it's influences proudly ..but retains a sliver of identity that is uniquely British and has a northern feel to it..I think that these geographic musical vignettes are realy evocotive of northern Newtown Uber estates and satellite communities..I hope this translates to a wider audience for him...he deserves the attention. give him his due .NOW . christopherogley
