Matt Berry – The Blue Elephant

Description

Recorded during the summer of 2020, Blue Elephant is testament to Matts 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 todays close scrutiny in all its bewildering, objectifying and unnerving experiences. Very much a conceptual and, therefore, continuous long-player, the albums infectious grooves come to the fore on standout tracks Summer Sun, heavy-psych instrumental Invisible and 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.
