Matt Elliott

Trying to define or analyse Matt Elliott's musical style is no easy task. Everything about him seems to be driven by an impulse, although he never leaves anything to chance. In his songs there is crying and rage, there is tension, generating a spectral atmosphere that floods everything, that permeates everything around him. The apparent calm of many of his songs suddenly turn into real emotional storms that lead the listener to experience a sensitive intensity from which one can never emerge unscathed, but which is necessary to understand that the music of the Bristolian is not inconsequential, quite the contrary. Throughout his career, the singer, guitarist and composer has drawn a unique sensorial map, capable of revealing some of the mysteries of the human condition. Songs that mark, that move, that sometimes make the hair stand on end.
