2016 repress; originally released in 2006. Because it's really about songs, Failing Songs turns Matt Elliott into a true songwriter, with subtle melodies that contrast with the hardness of the words. Between despair and cold anger, Elliott's lyrical subjects include a rejection of the liberal military evolution of the world. These sublime, melancholic, bitter, works are influenced by Slavic music and Greek music, and are occasionally punctuated by Spanish guitars.
