- Epic post-rock tinged emotional indie stalwarts Elbow release their fourth album 'The Seldom Seen Kid', another staunch and anthemic collection of songs. The tense and emotional sound of previous records remains, but with a distinctly more commercial riff-based template, particularly on lead single 'Grounds For Divorce'. The band produced the record themselves, as with previous records, lending it a homespun quality that would be out of synch with any external influence. Revered by their peers as a reliably independent act, Elbow have created a subtly innovative extension of their sound and scope with 'The Seldom Seen Kid'.

A great album from a band that mature's with age. Perfect melodies and quality musicianship add up to one of the albums of the year. Tracks like Tower Crane Driver ans Weather to Fly are cult classics in the making and what more can be said about the astonishing One Day Like This which was the highlight of this years Glastonbury festival. Buy this album and see what the fuss is about!!!
Excellent Album From an Excellent Band

First time i heard of Elbow... My uncle sent me up this album as a birthday present and i was blown away... Audience with the pope is outstanding but Weather to fly is by far the song of the album
Interesting
