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. 'The Blue Elephant' 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'.
