elbow start the New Year with
a new single and their largest ever UK headline date.
“Not A Job” is taken from the universally acclaimed “Cast
of Thousands” and features new tracks, exclusive cover
versions and visual surprises across the three formats.
elbow returned in 2003 following
the success of their Mercury nominated debut LP, “Asleep in the Back” with “Cast
of Thousands”, regarded by Uncut on it’s release
as “a frontrunner for finest album of 2003”.
The preceding single, “Fallen Angel”, saw the
band achieve their highest ever single placing and return
to the Top of the Pops studio to bemuse the podium dancers. “Cast
of Thousands” ended the year at the top end of many
magazine’s Best of 2004 lists with NME putting it at
Number 4 whilst Chris Martin and Jamie Cullum named it as
their favourite LP of the year.
As with previous elbow single releases,
a DVD release will feature Guy’s photos from life on the road whilst the
maxi CD version features the band’s celebrated cover
of Massive Attack’s “Teardrop”, originally
recorded for Radio One’s Jo Whiley.
Also included is a version of “Live On My Mind” by
Canadian legend Bruce Cockburn, a favourite song of Guy’s
and an artist held in high regard by the band for his political
standpoint and extensive musical output over 30 years.
In addition to the videos for “Not A Job” and “Fugitive
Motel”, the DVD release also features a reworked version
of “Theme From Munroe Kelly”, originally included
on the band’s debut (and now impossible to find) “Noisebox” EP
in 1998.
