Elbow

Add date: November 30

Artist: Elbow


Album: Flying Dream 1


Label: Universal Music Operations Limited


Genre: Lyrical, Alternative, British Indie Rock


Comments: In his newest album Flying Dream 1, released on November 19, 2021, Elbow uses their distinct British sound to take listeners on an emotional journey. Throughout most of the tracks, a beautiful piano backs up the lead singer’s flowy, raw vocals. Many of their songs are slower, and they sound pretty sad. They are perfect for a rainy day, staring out a window and thinking about one’s life. It’s interesting, too, how almost all ten tracks are over four minutes long; it just proves that Elbow has a complex story to tell which can’t be done in the radio standard 3-3.5 minutes. The leader’s voice is similar to artists like Bon Iver and Sam Smith, but he still remains true to himself in this unique sound.
