Matt Berry x KPM – Simplicity – Acid Jazz UK CD

Following the recent release of the outstanding ‘Top Brass’ single, Matt Berry will release a further unique collaboration with esteemed Library Music label KPM: the full-length album ’Simplicity’, out 17 November 2023.

KPM is renowned for providing the musical bedrock for so many classics of British TV and international cinema, using the best British composers – such as Keith Mansfield, Alan Hawkshaw, John Cameron and Alan Moorhouse – to do so. ’Simplicity’ follows in the footsteps of these giants and is a worthy successor to them.

Embodying the form of KPM’s original LPs geared towards film and television pitching, the album consists of 11 sharp and vibrant instrumentals, which will no doubt be heard in productions for many years to come.

Released in special collaboration with Acid Jazz, the album is presented in a beautiful graphic sleeve, with notes that allude to the original KPM releases, for something that is instantly hip and familiar, yet unmistakably new.

A 500-only limited-edition, individually-numbered green vinyl version is available exclusively from Acid Jazz, alongside classic black vinyl and a gatefold CD. We are also offering a special bundle that included all formats.

“Being a lifelong fan of KPM Records it was an honour to be asked to contribute to such a prestigious label with an amazing body of work featuring some of the sharpest composers, arrangers and players in town. I’m an imposter.” – Matt Berry

“We’re delighted to welcome Matt to KPM as a composer. Matt’s passion for the KPM catalogue is apparent throughout Simplicity. It blends the recording techniques and instrumentation of the 1960/70s ‘Greensleeves’ collection with Matt’s unique writing style.” – Jack Lewis, KPM
