The Blue Elephant on Cassette

CASSETTE. Recorded during the summer of 2020, 'Blue Elephant' is testament to Matt's exceptional musicianship, production skills and songwriting prowess with every instrument played by Matt including, guitars, bass, a variety of keyboards and synthesizers (piano, Wurlitzer, mellotron, Moog, Hammond, Vox and Farfisa organs), with the exception of drums - supplied by Craig Blundell, on arguably his best album to date. This music soundtracks an album that explores themes surrounding today's close scrutiny in all it's 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'.
