ELBOW – Melancholic Crooners Released 9th Album ‘FLYING DREAM 1’ Today

19 November 2021

Band: ELBOW
Who: Melancholic corners from Manchester
Active: Since 1997 / 9 studio albums (including the new one)

New album: FLYING DREAM 1
Released: 19 November 2021

Guy Garvey (frontman): “We realised we were making a record free of
the usual creative guidelines. We love patient, quiet, whole albums like the
last Talk Talk records, John Martyn’s ‘Sold Air’ and PJ Harvey‘s ‘Is This Desire’.”

NME says: “Bury’s finest return with a record that reflects on times and friends
gone by… The record’s unhurried approach and unassuming manner will still
bring comfort to those who seek solace in Garvey’s lyrics and Elbow’s
adept consistency.”
Full review here. Score: 3/5.

Turn Up The Volume: Nothing really new with the new Elbow one.
Yet, always gripping, soulful, tender and for heart and soul music lovers.

Guy Garvey, August 2021: “We don’t phone each other for a chat. We don’t
talk about life outside the music until we’re together. These hushed night-time
missives told us how each other were doing. When we finally got together, all
that was to do was record the songs, honour them with amazing additional
singers and players in a gorgeous space and catch up. It was beautiful.’
