You Guys Kill Me

Released

The peak of Matt Elliott’s initial run of Third Eye Foundation albums, You Guys Kill Me pulls together everything he does so well – layering of distorted, gritty drones and noise; rhythms like cats tumbling down stairwells; sidereal tonal experimentation; cinematic, leering melodies – and sculpts it into an album that’s somehow more mystifying, for all its relative clarity. Listening to You Guys Kill Me, you constantly feel watched, uncertain, on guard, as though there’s an apparition in the room with you, just out of earshot – it’s potent stuff. If the ‘other Bristol’ – trip-hop – was writing the urban blues, You Guys Kill Me took electronic music to somewhere even more elemental.
