Elbow Reveal the Name of Next Album - Spinner CanadaElbow Reveal the Name of Next Album
Elbow have revealed the name of their eagerly awaited new album, the follow-up to their Mercury Music Prize-winning 'The Seldom Seen Kid'.
Speaking to BBC 6 Music, frontman Guy Garvey said, "The working title of the album at the moment is 'Lippy Kids.'"
Giving more detail about the title and themes of the album, Garvey said, "It's quite a nostalgic thing. I've got a thing about growing up: not needing to! But a certain period of your life when -- well kids are called 'hoodies' these days aren't they when they reach their teens. I remember it being an amazing important time, so I've written a lot about that."
The band have been holed up in the studio throughout 2010. As Spinner previously reported, the album is unlikely to be too much of a departure from the band's past work, despite Garvey having suggested that the album would see a departure in sound towards shoegaze and psychedelia.
The record, their fifth, is currently about three quarters completed, suggesting that it should be released at some point in 2011, with the band keen to get it out on the road.
'The Seldom Seen Kid' was their breakthrough album, winning a Brit award and two Ivor Novello, as well as the Mercury Music Prize in 2008. On receiving the latter, Garvey declared it "the best thing that's ever happened to us."
Everything is going well with 'Lippy Kids' at the moment, with Garvey admitting, "We're all buzzing off it. You have periods of nervousness and then you have periods of elation. And we're all buzzing off it at the minute."
Hopefully it is just a working title, but yeah, great news.
Swooooooo.
2The title of course sounds like something Garvey would come up with, but that doesn't mean it'll sound like a great title to the rest of the world
Hopefully it is just a working title, but yeah, great news.
Well, it's from the same guys who thought that "Elbow" was a good name for a band
Yay for album news!

Elbow's Guy Garvey: 'New album is a different beast to 'The Seldom Seen Kid''
Elbow frontman Guy Garvey has revealed that the band's new album is a "different beast" to their 2008 record 'The Seldom Seen Kid'.
Speaking in the new issue of NME, Garvey explained that the new record is "romantic and nostalgic, as a lot of our stuff is, but... I don't really know how to put it; I suppose it’s bigger in some places and subtler in others".
Garvey also added that he's been "writing more about the past" on the new record than before.
"It's almost been a bit like digging through old photographs," he said. "One of the main themes of the record is me getting really annoyed when young people are alienated or demonised by the press because they wear their hoods up. Especially because, as far as I’m aware, hoods have been around for a pretty long time. I certainly had a snorkel parka when I was younger!"
Meanwhile, in other Elbow news, the band have announced a new UK arena tour to take place next March.
Please come to the US ... please come to the US.
(And by "the US," I really mean "Seattle.")
