Matt Elliot

Matt Elliot

Electronic pioneer (Bristol’s experimental tone-setting acts Flying Saucer Attack, and Third Eye Foundation) and long-standing musical mind in the Domino Records stable, Matt Elliot is a solo artist in his own right - and on his own terms. He left his native Bristol for the more receptive (and politically, more attractive) climes of France and now Spain, where his intricate weaves of introspective folk music are ecstatically welcomed. With tinges of eastern European dolour, his loops of guitars with a voice that this time around ‘howls’, Matt Elliot’s recent album took in a political edge (his sleeve notes show outrage at terrorism and war, pointing the finger at American and British Governments and delivers lyrics like: If you’re going to top yourself anyway / then why not bomb the stock exchange). Just don’t ask about 9/11, warns Matt, as GIITTV's deputy editor Fliss Collier interviews him about music, sadness, and politics

  • I hope his musical style is similar to that of his footballing one.

    No-nonsense Row Z rock'n'roll. But Scottish.

  • he was pretty handy upfront as an emergency target man

    scored quite a few goals for a centre back! What a multi-talented chap!

      "Nah mate, just stick some loo roll on it".

    • I think

      his best years were with Oxford united. He was a pivotal central defender in the mid nineties and signed from shrewsbury or somewhere
