After eight albums as The Third Eye Foundation on Domino, Matt Elliott chose Ici d'ailleurs for his second album under his own name. Drinking Songs confirms a radical transformation, opening out into dark chamber folk shaped by Eastern European and Slavic cabaret.
His electronics background still runs through it, clear in the sampling and atmospherics. Slow, hypnotic and immersive, songs like The Kursk, C.F. Bundy and What the Fuck Am I Doing on This Battlefield? stand among the key moments in his catalogue.
It is music that floods the room and builds an insistent, hypnotic atmosphere, both lascivious and violent. An alchemic record that invites introspection and never takes the easy way out. For fans of Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, Scott Walker, Radiohead and Portishead.
