Failing Songs [Import]

Failing songs turns MATT ELLIOTT into a true songwriter, songs whose subtle melodies contrast with the hardness of the words. Between despair and cold anger, the texts talk about the liberal military evolution of the world that the author rejects. The titles are as sublime as melancholic, bitter and sad, impressed by Slavic music, Greek, and besides, sometimes punctuated of Spanish guitars. A sad music's party which however reduces the heart of its listeners... Elliott has drawn further inspiration from Eastern European folk and cabaret music, his stately compositions achieving a melancholic drama similar to Tom Waits or the Bad Seeds at their most theatrically downtrodden.
