Elbow

Elbow is a band from Manchester, England with a simplistic and haunting sound. The melodies abound and are absolutely riveting. The sound is simplistic but it is nothing short of complex and emotional. We got to know Elbow when they opened for Coldplay this summer. They opened with Starlings, the first track on The Seldom Seen Kid. It begins with a light electronic intro and blasts into being with a chorus of trumpets. Spectacular! I remember turning to the bearded one and just sitting there slack-jawed. Point is, I adore them now. The website for the album is killer. It's probably the most visually striking website for a band I've seen. And it's so simple! *sigh* Please to enjoy!
