Cool :awesome: I don't much like Starlings, but it's bloody fantastic live.

 

Gah, you've got me pining for a new Elbow gig now :rolleyes:

It was love from first trumpet :rolleyes:

New Elbow soon!

 

 

Elbow back on home ground for next album

 

Whitefield indie band Elbow have revealed that the green shoots of their new album are beginning to emerge.

 

Singer Guy Garvey has revealed that the band’s next album, the follow-up to that Mercury Music Prize, Brit Award and Ivor Novello Award winning The Seldom Seen Kid, is likely to be released in January or February next year. The band have been recording at Salford’s Blueprint Studios working on their hotly anticipated fifth album.

 

Guy, a former pupil at St Monica’s RC High School in Prestwich, is mulling over the possible album title Sapling Trust, but admitted it’s not to all the band’s taste.

 

"It’s nice to be home," Guy said. "We are still writing and recording at Blueprint until the record’s done. I quite like the name ‘Sapling Trust’ for it."

 

Sadly, there are no plans for any live dates or festival appearances this summer.

 

"There’s no point in doing any more live shows at the moment – there’s no new songs ready," added guitarist Mark Potter.

 

"But I can’t wait to get out touring again. I don’t like the name Sapling Trust much though!"

 

Elbow formed at Stand College, Whitefield, in the 1990s and still retain their original line-up of lead vocalist and lyricist Guy Garvey, guitarist Mark Potter, keyboardist Craig Potter, bassist Pete Turner and drummer Richard Jupp.

Still....

 

:dance::dance::dance:

 

Sapling Trust? :O

 

i love that name!!

This just made me a very happy camper :dance:

 

Now if only we had more details about Coldplay....:dozey:

:\ hmmm they need a better album title...but woohooo January or February...:dance:

Ya, Sapling Trust is a little :inquisitive: I don't know

I kinda like it...I love their song names. I know it'll be great...a tentative title probably means it wont work out

Well, whatever they call it, if it as good as Leaders of the Free World, I'll be happy :D

Leaders is probably my favortie album

Leaders is my favourite (Elbow) album :P

The Everthere - My Very Best - Great Expectation "punch" is so beautiful :wacky:

For me, they can't beat the sheer power and beauty of the Abbey Road TSSK :) The choir on Starlings, the power of Grounds, the sadness of Friend of Ours, the innocence of Weather To Fly... :') Shame about One Day Like This, dunno why they increased the tempo like that, completely ruined it

 

Sapling Trust eh? I quite like it... though I doubt whether they'll stick with it if Mark doesn't like it.

I don't listen to TSSK Abbey Road so much. Some Riot and Friends Of Ours are particulary good there, though.

Yeah, especially Friend Of Ours :'(

The Everthere - My Very Best - Great Expectation "punch" is so beautiful :wacky:

 

Great Expectations if one of my fave Elbow songs - probably one of my fave songs of all time as it happens.

That is so close to the perfect song.

Yeah, it's lovely :')

Plus the leaderds era B-sides have some of the best.

 

Speaking of which, MY FRIEND ON YOUTUBE BOUGHT AND UPLOADED THE MEGARARE ONE DAY LIKE THIS B-SIDES :dance:

There's also two more b-sides from The Seldom Seen Kid era but they're more common.

A Regret

Our Little Boat

Hotel Istanbul

Lullaby

Every Bit the Little Girl

Li'l Pissed Charmin' Tune

 

Any other 'proper' Seldom Seen b-sides?

Nope. There were only two CD/Vinyl singles. The Bones Of You was an iTunes release only, with a live version as a b-side if I don't misremember.

I just realized I love Elbow.
