Elbow have announced their 10th album, Audio Vertigo, which will be out March 22 via Polydor/GEFFEN. Frontman Guy Garvey says these “gnarly, seedy grooves created by us playing together in garagey rooms,” and is attempt to go somewhere different than 2021’s Flying Dream 1.
The first single is “Lovers Leap,” which drags Elbow’s signature sound through the junkyard, while putting a little vocoder on Garvey’s vocals. Garvey says, lyrically, he aimed “not to reflect but distract from the bad things happening in the world.” Listen to “Lovers Leap” below.
Elbow will be on a UK tour in May with The WAEVE (Blur’s Graham Coxon & Rose Elinor Dougall) opening. Those dates are listed below.
