Formally known as the Third Eye Foundation, Matt Elliott has returned, prodigal son style, and his album The Mess We Made is indeed something worth changing your stage name for.

At turns dark, beautiful, plaintive and frankly rather lovely, this 8-track enchantment is, we are sure, a seminal change of direction for our man in rural France.

In the worst times, you can't always rely on human friends. In those unhappy and even tragic times, you may well be unsure who to turn to. For these lost and crazy days, we all need a little help, an nonjudgmental shoulder to cry on.

It's for situations like these that The Mess We Made, a musical companion, was born. Humans may be untrustworthy and uncaring, but music can always be relied upon, and The Mess We Made is there to help you through sad and uncertain times.

There is at least one song for every stage of the natural grieving process. Friends may come and go but The Mess will be here for as long as you need it. Whatever your loss, The Mess is here to help pick up the pieces. Talk with it; laugh with it; and of course, cry with it. You might not be sure of what's happening out there (the world can be a cold and unwelcoming place), but The Mess is here to tell you "You're not alone my friend!"
