Elbow return with their new album, The Seldom Seen Kid. The 11 tracks on the album cover themes of love and loss and become the central focus of an album that sees Elbow, a band universally recognized for their musical ability and innovation; stretch their sonic template further than ever before.
Elbow’s ability to deliver a knock out ballad is, as with previous albums, very much evident on the gorgeous “Mirrorball” and the sunny cousin to Asleep In The Back’s “Any Day Now,” and first single, ‘”One Day Like This.”
A band keen to consistently challenge their listeners both lyrically and musically, Elbow’s progress from that point has seen them accommodate overtly political and emotionally bare lyricism across their formidable back catalogue.
The Seldom Seen Kid will be released in the U.S. on Fiction/Geffen Records April 22nd, 2008.
