A Bit of Matt Berry

In August of 2010, I initially created this blog as a way to "follow" particular blogger(s) that share my enthusiasm for the Man, the Myth, the Legend that is Matt Berry, but then I decided to create my own. So here begins my Media Scrapbook of ALL THINGS BERRY. I am also the originator of the MBNN (Matt Berry News Network) Podcast. kofiwidget2.init('Buy Me a Coffee', '#46b798', 'A728KW0');kofiwidget2.draw(); For my other interests and fandoms: SHERLOCK, JOHNLOCK, BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH, MARTIN FREEMAN, HANNIBAL, HANNIGRAM, THE BLACKLIST, and others, see my other blog: houseofwonderandchaos.tumblr.com

Matt Berry - ‘Heard Noises’. New album out 24 January, 2025. Listen to the new single ‘I Gotta Limit’ (Feat. Kitty Liv) on all streaming platforms.

Acid Jazz Exclusive Gatefold Colour Vinyl / Signed Test Pressing / Blue Vinyl LP / CD / Cassette - pre order now:

Matt Berry – ‘Heard Noises’ (LP formats, CD, Cassette) [PRE-ORDER]

Following the huge acclaim of Matt’s 2021 album ‘The Blue Elephant’ (“A sonic odyssey” – Uncut) – as well as last year’s one-off album of library music collaboration with the KPM label (“another string to Berry’s impressive bow” – Prog magazine) – we are proud to present ‘Heard Noises’, Matt’s eighth studio album with Acid Jazz, out 24 January, 2025.

Out today, lead single ‘I Gotta Limit’ finds Matt trading lines with Kitty Liv (Kitty, Daisy and Lewis) as a man after a second chance with a woman impatient with his pleading. With a song structure inspired by Sly Stone, in a little over three minutes ‘I Gotta Limit’ takes in a plethora of musical ideas. An instantly catchy song which is part-Northern Soul, part-psych.

We’re hugely excited to offer a beautiful label-exclusive gatefold edition on Psychedelic Swirl colour vinyl, alongside the standard version Sky Blue LP, as well as corresponding soft-pack CD and high quality retro-styled Cassette.

We are also offering 70 limited-edition Test Pressings, each signed by Matt (with print insert of the cover art included).

In contrast to 'The Blue Elephant’ dizzying trip through an idiosyncratic love of British Psych, Freakbeat, Acid Rock and late ‘60s pop, ‘Heard Noises' finds Matt heading for a looser, Californian psychedelia, through his love of the trippier sounds of space pop and rock, and his ear for an eerie, haunting melody.

Once again, the album is testament to Matt’s exceptional musicianship, production skills and songwriting prowess. He plays guitars, bass, acoustic and Wurlitzer pianos, synthesizers, organs and Mellotron. He is joined by long-time collaborator, neo-progressive drummer Craig Blundell, and guests including Pokerface actress Natasha Lyonne, Eric D. Johnson (The Shins/Fruit Bats), Phil Scraggs, Rosie McDermott, and the S. Club 60s Choir (featuring Matt’s mum).

In many ways 'Heard Noises' could be considered the perfect distillation of the extraordinary breadth of musical ideas across Matt’s albums to date.
