From Drowned In Sound:
"Elbow have finished making their new album.
The long-awaited follow up to 'Asleep In The Back', promises a silly
amount of guests, including: Doves' Jimi Goodwin, I Am Kloot, Alfie,
The London Community Gospel Choir, the Glastonbury crowd recorded
during Elbow's set in 2002, a string section, a horn section and
several members of Guy Garvey's family doing backing vocals.
"It's the album we always dreamed of having the budget
for", said
Garvey at the Dairy in Brixton recently, when the guys played DiS 3
tracks from the untitled forthcoming album, including an absolutely
blinding track called 'Ribcage', about tearing yourself open to let
the sun light in.
The new album is "a lot happier" than 2001's 'Asleep In The
Back',
Guy Garvey continued, adding: "You can hear a lot of fear on
there
too, about the current global situation and getting that bit older
and thinking 'I wouldn't mind a bit of that' when I see my friends
with their children. It wasn't an easy album to make..."
Elbow will preview the album at The Carling Weekend festivals, but
have quashed rumours they will be playing at (the now sold out)
Glastonbury.
The band did say the record is likely to be out in August with more
details coming soon."
