The You Guys Kill Me album by Matt Elliott, under the moniker The Third Eye Foundation is master class of sampling and creative production. Entertainment Weekly said the album was “a dense weave of scissored rhythms and slithering tape loops that reads like a soundtrack to some great lost surrealist film.” Couldn’t have put it better myself! thirdeyefoundation.com |
