RIYL: Dada, Peter Gabriel

Label: Concord

Ah hell yeah! I’ve been really looking forward to the new album from Elbow. They’ve been one of my favorites for a while now. The title track below was a sick beat and they seem to be really pushing their Peter Gabriel influences on this one. I don’t know, call me crazy.

This is the indie store exclusive white violet pressing.

The Details

THE 7TH ALBUM FROM THE GENTLE ELBOW, FICTIONS, IS A QUIET but tantalizing listen, and it is full of controlled ballads that revel in approachable melancholy. This is the first album the British band has put forth since the departure of the founding member/drummer Richard Jupp, and Guy Garvey & gang experiment with airy, minimal instrumentation and subtle electronic beats that allow the husky vocals to really get the mood across. Check out the beautiful opener "Magnificent (She Says)," "Trust the Sun," & "All Disco." Also, "Gentle Storm" is, relatively speaking, upbeat with almost a danceable rhythm driving the song, with "Kindling" closing out the album on a somber note. This is the indie-exclusive, white violet pressing of the album.
