” Howling songs is the magnificent third and last part to the songs trilogy. We are back to this slavonic tune, without any definite frontier, whose only and constant heritage finds its roots in European music. This is a very haunted and personal piece of music which is the testimony of a unique talent where moving melodies follow other moving melodies balancing between ballad songs and folk music, madness and reason, revolt and despair. Howling songs sympathises with the surrounding world, it is a definitive observation in which one can feel, throughout the songs, an outraged sensitivity which is the signature of the artist. It is all the more sensitive that Matts voice is sometimes present without any chorus in the background, bringing to the whole both confidence and unquestionable heat.
Howling songs is, without a doubt, the most introspective album by Matt Elliott and the one which carries best his musical personality. ”

For those looking to purchase this album (and I hope many are), Darla Records is distributing this in the US.

They’re carrying the incredible 2LP gatefold version, and the less exciting cd release. In Europe, check the label. In the UK, try Cargo Records.
