The Seldom Seen Kid Review
20-03-2008 | 0 comments
The Seldom Seen Kid is the new album from Mancunian rockers Elbow. An apt title too as the output from Guy Garvey and co has hardly been prolific. Only the fourth album in 15 years, it would put The... read more »

Elbow biographyElbow biography (read more)
Or Who Are You - And What Have You Done With Elbow? A lot of bands come roaring out of the blocks full of youthful passion and claiming to be in it 'for the long haul'. They make a great debut album and then stall or run out of gas. elbow have done it the other way round. Not that they're exactly the Buena Vista Social Club of rock'n'roll. But it took them ten years to write their Mercury shortlisted debut album, "Asleep In The Back". Now on new LP, "Cast of Thousands" and with a weight of...

@ Grounds For Divorce

This is a truly amazing song. I've had it on repeat for about an hour now The instruments give it a country taste, something you would hear in a Johnny Cash song and the lyrics hide an untold story, apparently about custodial rights over a child. The vocals aren't the best in the world, but they go with the song, and few other people could pull it off.

Overall, great song 10/10

@ Scattered Black & Whites

I have only recently discovered the genius of Elbow but was wondering whether Scattered Black and Whites was hidden or not cause i borrowed a copy of Asleep in the Back but it only had the first 11 tracks listed on it.

@ Great Expectations

this... is just about as perfect as music gets. Elbow are by far my favourite band but this is beyond even their high standards.

Guy's vocals are perfect here, and tell a story that shifts effortlessly between reality, fantasy and metaphor blurring the line between them.

one of those songs where they take a small and seedy story and turn it into something magnificent and beautiful.

the open end is only fitting, an expression of a commitment that doesn't end. even though in this case maybe it never began.

permanently one of my very favourite songs. it's special to me.

@ Fugitive Motel

it's a gorgeous song topped off by perfect vocals from Guy Garvey, especially on this part:

'I'm tired' I said
'You always look tired' she said
'I'm admired' I said
'You always look tired' she said


you can practically hear him draw himself up with pride on the "admired" line then ruthlessly cut himself down with that last line in the persona of the woman he's talking to.

beautiful sad song, the chorus says it all.
