Longstanding
Mancunian outfit Elbow go from strength to strength, following on from their
performance at the Olympic Closing Ceremony and their noteworthy B-sides collection
Dead in the Boot, with their colossal new record, The Take Off and Landing of
Everything. The sheer emotional weight of the songs would be enough to sink the
battleships of the toughest of souls with a heart of profoundly personal poetry
and marvellous musical melancholy, which has rarely skipped a beat since their
debut album Asleep in the Back in 2001. From its heart-breaking lengthy opening
track 'This Blue World' the album is a slow and gentle journey, ending
perfectly with the wonderful 'The Blanket of the Night'. The album is devastatingly
beautiful and deserves all the recognition and support that it is sure to receive.
