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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeveral hundred concerts across Europe and seven albums later, Matt Elliott now presents  Drinking Songs Live 20 Years On, revisiting this landmark album. Recorded at L'Autre Canal in Nancy, where the Englishman has been living for several years now, this album features previously unreleased trio versions. Anyone who has seen him perform solo or with this trio knows how much Matt Elliott has enjoyed drawing on the tracks of  Drinking Songs, such as the emblematic and poignant 'The Kursk.'.The presence of double bass, piano, and saxophone (which Matt Elliott seems to have fully embraced since his last album  The End of Days) adds new dimensions and textures to the compositions. The trio's virtuosity and sensitivity enhance each note, each silence, bringing an even more intimate and compelling force to each track.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis collaboration transcends the studio version, capturing the raw emotion of a Matt Elliott who, at 50, seems to be at the peak of his art.Drinking Songs Live 20 Years On  is not just a celebration of two decades of internationally recognized work; it is above all an edifying work in exploration and reinterpretation. By breathing new life into his  Drinking Songs  twenty years later, Matt Elliott has given us a precious gift: the opportunity to listen to  Drinking Songs  again for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eCF Bundy \/ Trying to Explain\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003e What's Wrong\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Kursk\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eWhat the fuck am i doing on this battelfield\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003e A Waste of Blood\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Guilty Party \/ Also Ran\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Maid we messed\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eCF Bundy\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eTrying to explain\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe guilty party\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eWhat's wrong\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Kursk\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eWhat the fuck am i doing on this Battelfield\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eA waste of blood\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Maid we Messed\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ici d'Ailleurs\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Folk\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 03\/07\/25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3521381590593\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"ICIDAILLEU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45913020793081,"sku":"IDA163LPBOXSET","price":89.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/files\/IDA163LPBOXSET.jpg?v=1736181916","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/matt-elliott-drinking-songs-live-20-years-on-drinking-songs-lp","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
