Talk Less, Say More is Jell who is Matthew Jennings who is Talk Less, Say More.

He plays guitar and keyboards for critically acclaimed avant-pop crew The Butterfly and has recently collaborated in folk duo Caer Caradoc.

As Talk Less, Say More Jell does his own thing. What that ‘thing’ is is perhaps a little harder to explain. A genre-hopping (genre-crushing?) auteur with a scale of ambition that cannot be quantified. One minute he’s playing with a straight bat and the next he’s reverse swept you for six.

I Don’t Know Where I Am, I Don’t Know What I’m Doing

The companion piece to last year’s critically acclaimed Go Lucky, IDKWIAIDKWID brings tracks recorded over the same time, remixes and fresh material. Bursting with sonic inventiveness, lyrical cleverness and possessing a still beating pop heart, this is a release to treasured as summer fades.

‘It’s About Time’

‘It’s About Time’

Talk Less, Say More once again effortlessly connects the abstract with the concrete in this album of glinting futuristic glitched hip-hop. Raps about quantum mechanics, suicidal mathematicians, Zeno’s paradoxes as well as home towns and girls being, you know, sometimes quite difficult to understand. Wonderfully skewed, weird and utterly unique, something like Timbaland meets the Copenhagen Interpretation with Kool Keith on vocals.

Go Lucky

An intensely personal record that falls into love’s sunlit glories as well as the strange chasms opened when it departs. A celebration and an elegy, this is the height of the best traditions of experimental pop: cyclic guitars, minimal techno throb, snapping drums over impressionist cello and joyous poundshop electro.

Ideal Forms

Ideal Forms

“All music…must be the earthly representation of the music there is in the rhythm of the Ideal Realm.” The realm of pure forms described in two tracks of beautifully spartan Platonic ambience.

‘It’s About Time’

‘It’s About Time’

Abstract hip-hop that considers quantum mechanics, the nature of time and space and the problems of life and love caused by these quandaries. Schrödinger’s rap, McTaggart-hop, Zeno crunk.
