Matt Berry
Rich, baritone-led psychedelia that feels like a lost 1970s folk-horror soundtrack. Warm analog textures for autumn afternoons and quiet contemplation.

Matt Berry is a polymathic British artist whose musical output serves as a serious exploration of 1960s and 70s psych-folk and progressive rock. Despite his high-profile career in comedy, his music is characterized by a sincere, non-ironic dedication to vintage recording techniques and analog instrumentation.
His sound identity is built around his commanding baritone voice and a multi-instrumentalist approach that favors Hammond organs, Mellotrons, and acoustic guitars. Since signing with Acid Jazz Records, Berry has moved through various stylistic phases, including the pastoral folk of 'Kill the Wolf', the ambient experimentation of 'Music for Insomniacs', and the garage-psych of 'Blue Elephant'. Critically, he is respected for his technical proficiency and his ability to evoke the 'hauntological' qualities of British library music and television scores. He occupies a unique cultural space between the eccentric pop of Kevin Ayers and the modern psych-folk of Jane Weaver, appealing to crate-diggers and fans of British cult media alike.
