Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow return in March with their fourth studio album, 'The Seldom Seen Kid'. Recorded by the band at their own facility within Salford's Blueprint Studios, The Elbow Room, and produced by keyboard player, Craig Potter, the album is the follow up to 2005's universally acclaimed 'Leaders Of The Free World'. The album also sees the band start a new relationship with Fiction Records.

The lyrical core of 'The Seldom Seen Kid' sees Guy Garvey address the key questions of life. Thus, over the 11 tracks the big themes of love and loss become the central focus of an album that sees Elbow, a band universally recognised for their musical ability and innovation, stretch their sonic template further than ever before. With band members now fathers of young children this is an unashamedly grown up record from a band that can rightfully claim status as elder statesmen of the UK music scene. In a climate where the track could be regarded as king this is also very much an album, designed and envisaged to be listened to as a whole.
