Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid - #10/2008













Elbow
­ / «The Seldom Seen Kid»

First released by Fiction Records
on 17 March 2008
in the U.K.

This is another strong collection of tunes from the Elbow. Since their debut back in 2001 (Asleep In The Back), I must admit I have been off and on following their work. They have in total released four albums and as with their first release, this one caught my immediate attention. They’re belting out fat vocal, rhythm and riffs like weather beating mountain tops, while telling interesting stories. Why ask for more?

Tracklist:
01. «Starlings» – 5:20
02. «The Bones Of You» – 4:49
03. «Mirrorball» – 5:50
04. «Grounds For Divorce» – 3:39
05. «An Audience With The Pope» – 4:27
06. «Weather To Fly» – 4:29
07. «The Loneliness Of A Tower Crane Driver» – 5:14
08. «The Fix» – 4:27
09. «Some Riot» – 5:23
10. «One Day Like This» – 6:34
11. «Friends Of Ours» – 4:38
12. «We’re Away» [UK bonus track] – 1:59
