About Obsessed and so Obscure - A Matt Berry Music Podcast
We are three girls from Texas, Florida, and Quebec who bonded over a mutual passion for Matt Berry's music.
Join us as we obsess, analyze, and wildly speculate over this multi-talented multi-instrumentalist.
Join us as we take an in-depth look at Matt Berry’s brand-new album Heard Noises, including bonus tracks! A massive thanks to Acid Jazz Records for providing us with an advanced digital copy, so we could get this episode to you as quickly as possible. We also want to thank Steve Furst and Martin Green at Soho Radio for kindly letting us share clips from their recent interview with Matt.
