Elbow Returns With New Album And Tour

The new album, The Take Off and Landing of Everything, contains many familiar elements, with “Fly Boy Blue / Lunette'” that harks back to debut single “Newborn” in its step change melody and rhythmic shift mid-song. Meanwhile, “New York Morning,” the band’s first official single from the album carries sentiments similar to the beautifully moving track “Scattered Black and Whites” taken from their debut album Asleep in the Back to the soaring ballad of “Open Arms” from their last release Build a Rocket Boys!

Contest details below

The Take Off and Landing of Everything was recorded in Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios and at the band’s facilities at Blueprint Studios in Salford, England. As with previous albums, The Seldom Seen Kid and Build a Rocket Boys!, it was produced by the band’s keyboardist Craig Potter.
