Scintillating Songsmith Shines Again – ‘HEY CLOCKFACE’ By ELVIS COSTELLO Out Now

1 November 2020

Artist: ELVIS COSTELLO
Album: HEY CLOCKFACE – his 31st (!) LP
Released: 30 October 2020

The Independent (English newspaper) wrote: “It’s hard not to view the seasoned singer-songwriter’s latest release as an old curiosity shop, filled with quirky memorabilia and his typically eccentric cast of characters… Costello has always been an exceptional storyteller,
and this is one of his most evocative albums.”
Score: 4/5.

Key lines: “I don’t spend my time perfecting the past. I live for the future,
because I know it won’t last.”

Turn Up The Volume: Costello’s musical canon is nothing less than outstanding, in
quality and quantity. If you want to listen to all of his LPs, one after another, you need approximately 30 hours. A thing many of us can do as we are condemned to stay at home to be safe. If you’re ready for an Elvis marathon start with this new one, it’s one of his best.

The scintillating songsmith shines once again.

Key singles: No Flag / Hetty O’Hara Confidential

– NO FLAG –
(Electrifying stormer)

– HETTY O’HARA CONFIDENTIAL –

ELVIS COSTELLO – Another Intriguing Piece Of His New Upcoming Album

New sonic impulses

17 October 2020

Declan Patrick MacManusew, better known as ELVIS COSTELLO
launches his 31th (!) album Hey Clockface on 30th October.

The transcendent songsmith already dropped four
tracks off the LP, and here’s cut number five.

NEWSPAPER PANE tackles the misleading, sensationalist media
with a waterfall of words over a repetitive hypnotic rhythm with
horns snippets in the back. Another intriguing piece. With all songs
that we heard so far it looks like the new LP will be a winner.

Freedom to dream
Freedom to wonder…
