Matt Elliott has rather an atypical course. He used to work under the pseudo The Third Eye Foundation - emblematic figure of the English electronic scene, recognised for his atypical drum ‘n’ bass tinted electro. Since his first album under his own name ‘The Mess We Made’, Matt Elliott turns to compositions much more folk, forsaking the laptop and the machines - which go until disappearing, to return to more traditional instruments.

‘Songs’ features 7x 12” LPs compiling all the tracks from the ‘Drinking Songs’, ‘Failing Songs’ and ‘Howling Songs’ albums, plus ‘Failed Songs’, an album with previously unreleased songs from the period 2004-2008.
