Broken Man

Vinyl LP pressing. 2012 album from the British musician who also records under the name the Third Eye Foundation. The Broken Man is the most delicate of Elliott's albums to date. The angry noise has all but abated, making way for more fragile melodies and a more subtle approach to intensity to immerse the listener. Ideally listened to in total darkness to discover the hope hidden deep within the guitars, voice, choirs, bells, ethereal trumpets, the howl of the dog beneath the skin, in the sincerity of the music. Inspired by the ghosts of European Folk music, the voice often resigned but always expressive.
