Matt Berry: If you can't afford a string section, then get a pedal steel

Musician and actor Matt Berry goes deep into some interesting comparisons in an extensive Brooklyn Vegan interview: "I spent a week just listening to Joy Division and absolutely nothing else, and he was really influenced by Jim Morrison. There are so many characteristics that I didn't really pick up on before. Is your bathroom so cold, and all that kind of stuff". Another comparison involving Beach House: "When I first heard them they made me feel the same way that the longer Doors song did -- the more atmospheric, 'End of the Night', that sort of stuff". His new album 'The Blue Elephant' is out now. He's done it "differently to the traditional way... you have songs that aren't traditional song structures, and a lot of the time there's no vocal at all. If there is a vocal, it won't appear until halfway through". The last suggestion: "Just listen to it with headphones".
