Elbow Books 2017 Gigs

The as-yet-untitled LP marks the seventh studio album for the alternative rock band. We’ll have to wait and see if Elbow can top its last release, 2014’s The Take Off and Landing of Everything. A five-star review from Q Magazine declared, “The Take Off and Landing of Everything is the perfect expression yet of everything that is Elbow. As their best album to date, it will lift your heart and fill your soul. … This is the sound of a band throwing their arms around the world.”
