Matt Leonard Price – Sleeping Pill Mannequin (2011)
"Imagine if Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett hadn't melted down but developed into an accomplished multi-instrumentalist/solo artist. Meet Matt Leonard Price. This British acoustic guitarist/pianist/poet, best known for his work with band Harrison in the 80s, presents a movingly heartfelt disc full of gentle gems. Sleeping Pill Mannequin does not rock, but it's far from slumber inducing. Prepare to be intimately charmed." (Progression, Issue 62)
Each new collection of songs pushes in a progressive and subtly altered direction, all the while keeping a strong, song—based structure and content throughout. Sleeping Pill Mannequin is no exception, and Matt Leonard Price displays an increasingly varied and personal style which runs from the more progressive title track, with its gritty Hammond organ work, through the immediately appealing Do You Know Who You Are? If you don't know this artist, then this is definitely a good place to start."
Tracklist: 1. Things Could Be Worse; 2. Sleeping Pill Mannequin; 3. The Last Roses; 4. Do You Know Who You Are?;
5. Scenes From A Life Unlived; 6. Different Ophelia; 7. Awfully So Togetherly; 8. Rain Will Fall And Rivers Overflow;
9. Rat Catcher; 10. Wand'ring Around In A Daze
(EAN 9–781874–353157) Released on 16 May 2011.
Matt Leonard Price – Source of Wonder (2010)
"Anyone missing the gentle, pastoral musings of Syd Barrett or Nick Drake will surely warm to the second self-produced outing from this singer-songwriter. There's an ever-so-English quality running through serenely paced nylon string and piano-led songs on offer, comprising 11 originals plus a resetting of lines by A E Housman. The title track showcases the cracked vulnerability of Price's voice, 'Short Lived' conjures the more focused moments of The Incredible String Band, and 'Sister Eva' revives the more contemporary spirits of Blur and Paul Weller. If Ratty and Mole went boating through Virginia Water in 1967, this would be on the portable Dansette." (Acoustic Magazine, Issue 44, August 2010.)
Tracklist: 1. Mirror World; 2. Sister Eva; 3. In Valleys Green and Still; 4. I Won't be Coming Back; 5. Short Lived;
6. From Ypres to Verdun; 7. The Swimming Lesson (or Retribution); 8. Source of Wonder; 9. That Day Beside the Sea;
10. Oh Felicity!; 11. Leaving the Half-Light; 12. Everyone Here's Got a Story to Tell
(EAN 9–781874–353140) Released in 01 March 2010.
Matt Leonard Price – Off the Heap (2008)
"It's difficult to give an accurate description of Matt's work as it's so original. The songs, broadly acoustic and without drums, are honest and heartfelt, moving and entertaining. Some bring tears to your eyes while others put a smile on your face. Matt plays acoustic guitar, piano and keyboards to add to his great voice." (Fatea Magazine)
Tracklist: 1. We Call it Love; 2. Light Up the Rain; 3. Outgrown; 4. Silence Divides; 5. Bowled Over; 6. Tale of the Sea;
7. Schoolboy Diary; 8. Buried and Gone; 9. Catherine's Plaint; 10. Flying Vole of Glad; 11. Goodbye.
