Kill The Wolf At 10 Anniversary Deluxe Editions
• Featuring previously unavailable bonus material
• ‘Blood Splatter’ 2LP & CD

June 2013 Matt Berry released his second album on Acid Jazz. ‘Kill The Wolf’ developed the sounds that had enthralled from his label-debut ‘Witchazel’, and added elements of progressive music, ‘70s pop and psychedelic experimentation to give us a critically acclaimed album. It marked Matt out as a true musician.

Including tracks such as ‘Gather Up’ and ‘Medicine’ that rapidly became fan favourites, when alongside his band The Maypoles he toured later that year. In the extended ‘Solstice’ it had an unexpected Radio hit as it was championed on BBC 6 Music.

The original release plan saw a short run of a direct-to-consumer box-set, pressed in a run of 300 copies that inevitably became a sought after rarity, with none of the exclusive music that was included being available anywhere else since.
