Heard Noises (Aus) [LP]

Matt Berry returns with his first new solo album since 2021's Blue Elephant. This time he delivers a Soul and West Coast Psych-inspired collection of songs, which attach an innate sense of melody to a lush, contemporary take on classic recording techniques. All of this is allied with Matt's rich voice and unique lyrics. The album's opening single "I Gotta Limit" is a sharp, pounding number with vocal duties shared with Kitty LIV. Elsewhere, there are collaborations with Eric D Johnson of The Shins, and Golden Globe-winning actress Natasha Lyonne. In the past four years Matt has been busy with a number of projects, including his Library Music collaboration with KPM, Simplicity, and his EMMY Award nominated role as Laszlo in What We Do In The Shadows. This record, his 8th studio album for Acid Jazz, sees him return to his love of music.
