Matt Elliott - Drinking Songs

Drinking Songs is an album steeped heavily in spirits, both alcoholic and otherwise. On these tracks, Elliott seems to address the world from the sunless interior of an absinthe glass, with his rarified instrumental arrangements serving as the only thin balm available to keep his subjects from capsizing hopelessly into the ink-black, fathomless depths.Drinking Songs remains a work to be listened to with eyes closed � it's about the only way you can keep the room from spinning.
