Happy Birthday Matt Berry!

Raising a glass to What We Do In The Shadows' Matt Berry with a few career highlight clips, a chat with Tom Scharpling and a new single.

Matt Berry - "Silver Rings" single

Following the January release of Matt Berry's acclaimed new album ‘Heard Noises’ (you can get a vinyl copy and most of his prior recordings directly from Acid Jazz Records right here), we’re excited to announce this exclusive special edition 7” single, in a unique collaboration between Matt and New Street Adventure.

‘Silver Rings’ is one of the stand-out tracks from the album, described as a ‘late 60’s sounding pop classic [that] gives Richard Hawley some competition in the songwriting stakes’ (Louder Than War), the production evocative of a West Coast sound defined by 12-string guitars, session crews and classic studios, befitting the quirky, California cool of the album.

The perfect grounding for interpretations, Matt offered it to newly-reformed Acid Jazz label-mates New Street Adventure, who responded by creating a masterful, contrasting retro-soul inspired take, mixed by Colemine Records associate Rafferty Swink.

‘Heard Noises’ reached No. 22 on the Official Album Chart upon release and was described as “One of the most joyous albums you’re likely to hear in 2025.” (Classic Pop), “great music for an occult go-go dancing competition.” (Shindig!), and “Arguably his best album yet.” (Record Collector). 

Presented in a special picture sleeve (see below), designed by Matt himself with an allusion to the lyric,  and limited to just 500 copies – available exclusively from Acid Jazz. Get a copy via Bandcamp right here.
