from Q Magazine:
Working Title: Station Approach
Due: April 2005
Completed Tracks: Mexican Standoff / Into My Arms / Pucture Repair / Station Approach
Producers: Elbow
Probable album opener Station Approach makes use of the array of weird and wonderful instruments strewn across the studio - lap steel guitars, harps and banjos among them – to create a bizarre wall of sound. Elsewhere, Mexican Standoff, with its maracas and flamenco handclaps, is the sound of Elbow at their most raucous, and a stark contrast to Puncture Repair, which sees Garvey backed by a lone piano.
“The album’s going to be more triumphant than the last,” says the singer. “That one was really hard work, but this time everyone’s relaxed and happy.”.
Most of the new songs were written on the road in Europe and America, then honed during a two-week break on the remote Scottish island of Mull in June. Their stint in Salford will see them wrapping up all the loose ends with a view to getting the album in the bag by Christmas.
“We’d love to be in a position where we’d be releasing an album a year,” says Garvey. “I want to get at least 10 records out before I die”<br>

I'm sure they're just either finishing off the album or taking a Christmas break |
