Elbow - Westonbirt Arboretum

It’s fair to say that Guy Garvey is in triumphant mood. The lead singer, lyricist, and most recognisable member of the BRIT and Mercury Award winning, arena filling, Mancunian musical institution (as they must surely now be regarded) that is elbow is on a high following the
completion of the band’s landmark tenth studio album.


Titled ‘AUDIO VERTIGO’ as a possible wry comment on the very lack of discomfort around its writing and recording, (he’s not telling), and newly dressed in a psychedelic inspired design that marks it out visually from its nine predecessors, the album is a host of news for a band now well
into a third decade of making music together yet bucking convention (as they have always seemed to) by finding the process more fun and less taxing with each release. Such ease is reflected by Guy’s opening thought on the record, breaking the convention that says you don’t give up your influences that easily:

“Pete’s just had the symbol from the cover of Duran Duran’s “Seven and the Ragged Tiger” tattooed on his forearm in the same place as Mark has his AC / DC lightning strike. Like Mark said, “We’re literally wearing our influences on our sleeve.”
