The "video" is uploaded in order for the fans to be able to share it through the various social media, in an attempt to promote the music they appreciate with their contacts. For the same reason I upload the songs myself as well. It goes without saying that nothing belongs to me and I do my best in order to give credit where its due, but still I respect every artist's right to decide if they want such a "video" to exist or not.

----- Info from the Press Release:

So we left Matt with The Broken Man, an album on edge, stripped and perhaps his darkest record to date. Only Myocardial Infarction Can Break Your Heart, his new album, announces an optimism previously unsuspected in the musician. A new start, perhaps a form of renewed hope. Whatever it may be, this new album introduces a new dimension in the music of Matt Elliott, without ever questioning the foundations.

From the first notes, the climate (relatively) less dark than usual, and the listener is taken away naturally. The first piece, over 17 minutes, a manifest of a new dynamic, a desire to move forward regardless of the obstacles. The melancholy that has always emerged from Matt's music is transformed here into bustling energy and yet extremely warm. More than ever, he managed to merge shadow and light within the same song. Emotions are no longer opposed, they complement in the most beautiful way. Clearly, the fog has dissipated somewhat and shows the way as it really is, winding and rocky but whose purpose is simply a gateway to the territories of serenity.

So much so that we will never have felt so close to the musician listening to one of his records, sometimes to the point of having the feeling of being in the same room with him to share one of unexpected moments of intoxication as they are rare ... and therefore priceless. Only Myocardial Infartion Can Break Your Heart seems to be the work of reconstruction after a Broken Man impregnated with despair. And if the load is less emotional funereal, intense, it remains intact.

----- Biography (from Last.fm):

Matt Elliott is a singer/songwriter from Bristol, United Kingdom, who plays folk music with an approach of a dark ambience. He also produced & recorded under the name The Third Eye Foundation.

Elliott was first inspired to investigate & to attempt to understand music at around 7 years old on hearing the mournful tones of a russian orthodox choir & wondering how music alone can move you to tears. This would eventually inspire him to study music un-academically through his own research into sound & music.

He started his musical career in a record shop from the age of 16. A second hand record shop (The legendary Revolver Records who's employees have included Dave Pearce (Flying Saucer Attack), Daddy G, Debbie Manning (Foehn)) owned by a music enthusiast to rival John Peel, Matt considers these years as his basic education in music. He formed along with Kate Wright (Movietone) & Rachel Brook (Movietone/Flying Saucer Attack) the band 'Linda's Strange Vacation' which met on Sundays to rehearse in a shed at Brooks parents with begged borrowed & stolen instruments including rolls of carpets, snooker cues, a broken keyboard then slowly the guitars & drums arrived. Kate Wright & Rachel Brook went on to form Movietone with which Matt played as an occasional member. About the same time Brook & Dave Pearce formed Flying Saucer attack & the first version of The Third Eye Foundation appeared, the idea being a loose collective. Elliott recorded with Flying Saucer attack under this name involving Debbie Manning (Foehn) & Niven Murray on a couple of tracks.
