Accidental

Accidental Records is the overall name for Matthew Herbert's family of labels, incorporating Soundslike and, until the beginning of 2004, Lifelike. It was set up in January 2000 to administer and oversee the release and distribution of Herbert's music after all the labels he'd previously recorded for ceased to exist.
The label Accidental Records, founded by Matthew Herbert in January 2000, serves as a platform for his music releases. It encompasses other labels such as Soundslike and Lifelike (until 2004). The establishment of this label came about when Herbert's previous recording labels became defunct. With a focus on administering and distributing his own music, Accidental Records has become an integral part of Matthew Herbert's musical journey.
Accidental Records, headed by renowned artist Matthew Herbert, emerged in January 2000 with a mission to ensure the continued release and distribution of his music. This label conglomerate includes Soundslike and Lifelike (up until 2004), further expanding its reach within the industry. In response to the dissolution of his previous recording labels, Accidental Records was established as a means to maintain control over Herbert's creative output while providing fans with access to his evolving discography.

Back In Stock

Musca is the next in the series of domestic house albums to follow the groundbreaking LP classics Around The House (1998), and Bodily Functions (2001).

After the wide expanse of his last big band album The State Between Us made with more than 1000 musicians and singers across Europe, this album instead is inward looking. Born of both intimacy and collaboration, features eight singers, Verushka, Siân Roseanna, Allie Armstrong, Bianca Rose, Melissa Uye-Parker, Daisy Godfrey, Y’akoto and Joy Morgan - all of whom Matthew has never worked with before or met face to face. It also features musicians Nick Ramm, Tom Herbert, Tom Skinner, Finn Peters, Cevanne Horrocks-Hopayian and Leo Taylor, who, like the singers, all self-recorded and in isolation from each other.

Matthew says: “Like presumably many other albums made during the last year, Musca reflects on navigating the challenges and joys of our most intimate relationships whilst the world is in turmoil. Not just with Covid, but with the rise in state and political violence, facebook-friendly fascism, white supremacy and a climate in crisis.”
