Matt Elliott : 'Drinking Songs Live 20 Years On'

• Konzerte

Twenty years ago, Matt Elliott released Drinking Songs, the first part of a significant trilogy—a magnificent album of seven dark folk tracks that remains to this day the most listened to on streaming platforms and highly praised by fans of the Bristol native. Today, to celebrate the anniversary of the most iconic work in his discography, Matt Elliott presents ‘Drinking Songs Live 20 Years On’, a collection of alternative versions recorded live as a trio.

Matt Elliott, who had already made a name for himself in the indie electronic scene under The Third Eye Foundation moniker, ventured into folk territory in the early 2000s. Born in 2004, ‘Drinking Songs’ is the Englishman’s second album under his own name, following ‘The Mess We Made’, released in 2003 on Domino. What sets Matt Elliott apart is his ability to fuse different styles, blending chamber folk with Eastern European cabaret music, while simultaneously drawing on his electronic music background, particularly his mastery of sampling and effects, to serve the song.
