Blue Matter are extremely proud to be releasing a brand new album by the great English eccentric, Paul Roland. ‘Morbid Beauty’ will make it’s appearance in mid 2024, and is a fantastic collection of Paul’s trademark mixture of gothic rock and psychedelia. Paul is from Kent and has been making music since the late 70s. He has issued countless albums on a variety of labels and has been cited as a ‘psych legend’, a ‘true cult hero’ and a ‘great innovator’. Frank Zappa is quoted as saying somewhat amusingly ‘Paul Roland writes nice music, but it’s too complicated for me!’ Paul’s musical reputation is probably somewhat greater in Europe than in the UK, which seems strange as he has been so influential to many British acts. Paul is also a celebrated music journalist and successful author having written books on cinema, history and music. For us, to be able to release a new album, and a fantastic album at that, by an artist of his calibre is a long and handsome peacock’s feather in Blue Matter’s Edwardian top hat.
