The Blue Elephant

by Matt Berry

supported by

enbyjord The influences, the experimentation, the vibes, a highly underrated artist. Keep it up Matt. Favorite track: Summer Sun.

lostsara This is my first record I've ever bought. I don't actually have a record player, but my roommate does, so just gonna listen to it on hers. She's real anal about people touching her stuff (especially me cuz I'm her sister) but, I feel as if it will throw a bit of danger into the album listening experience. Favorite track: Forget Me.

bradbananas This is a kaleidoscope for the ears, an aural feast, a pure piece of musical brilliance from a man whose music is shockingly, somehow, more impressive than his acting chops -- which are prodigious. And it fucking goes with anything I am doing at any time. If you don't like Matt Berry's music you may need to be assessed.

about

In his tenth year with Acid Jazz, the ever-prolific Matt Berry has crafted a psych masterpiece. Once again proving his artistic progression and ambition knows no bounds.

Following the acclaim of last year’s Top 30 album ‘Phantom Birds’ ( ★★★★ The Times), on 14 May Acid Jazz will release ‘Blue Elephant’, Matt Berry’s sixth studio album with the groundbreaking label.

Recorded during the summer of 2020, ‘Blue Elephant’ is testament to Matt’s exceptional musicianship, production skills and songwriting prowess with every instrument played by Matt including, guitars, bass, a variety of keyboards and synthesizers (piano, Wurlitzer, mellotron, Moog, Hammond, Vox and Farfisa organs), with the exception of drums – supplied by Craig Blundell, on arguably his best album to date.

This music soundtracks an album that explores themes surrounding today’s close scrutiny in all its bewildering, objectifying and unnerving experiences. Very much a conceptual and, therefore, continuous long-player, the album’s infectious grooves come to the fore on standout tracks ‘Summer Sun’, heavy-psych instrumental ‘Invisible’, the three-part ‘Blues Inside Me’, which encompasses a psych journey through a late ‘60s and early glam filter mixed with the propulsive ‘Like Stone’.

‘Blue Elephant’ will be available on mustard vinyl (exclusive to Acid Jazz), standard black vinyl, and also digipack CD, audio cassette, digital download and across streaming platforms.

Well, does it live up to the hype? It's okay, not as good as 'Loops' or the 'Fenella' stuff; i doubt i'll be listening to it in full very often. Her mojo is waneing in my 'umble opinion. vykr
