What you say No-one has reviewed Drinking Songs by Matt Elliott yet. Give us your opinion on Drinking Songs by Matt Elliott. What we say This record left our Brian feeling ecstatic. Matt Elliott likes a drink. I've been informed of this by Leeds indie funsters Hood who are old mates of his & I've heard a couple of really amusing stories I can tell yer. He likes a drop of the demon booze so much in fact he's entitled his latest beautifully packaged CD 'Drinking Songs'. Think this is one for all you mournful absinthe heads ya know. Sorrowful strings, sad piano and understated guitar kick off proceedings, It gets slightly jauntier albeit more woozy & sinister as it progresses with hazy singalongs & accordian joining the not-so-merry soiree. I reckon this is the best thing he's done in fact. So much so that I'm gonna have one. Try & stop me ya bastards. I'll have the lot of yer. Yer me besht mates all of youze. Honesht. What the label says: Matt Elliott has rather an atypical course... He used to work under the pseudo third eye foundation - emblematic figure of the English electronic scene recognized for his atypical electro tinted by drum' N bass. Since his first albums: “the mess we made” (domino records) and “drinking songs” (Ici d’ailleurs…), Matt Elliott turns to compositions much more folk, forsaking the laptop and the machines - which go until disappearing on “failing songs”, to return to more traditional instruments (guitar, piano, violin...).

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
