Little Fictions_elbow

Elbow are often maligned for the overplaying of One Day Like This, but beyond that slice of montagefriendly schmaltz they’re a band with an uncanny knack of tapping into a British way of thinking – there’s even a track here called that’s far better than a song that could be called a Brexit anthem has any right to be. and the low-key instrumentation on songs like Head for Supplies and Montparnasse puts Guy Garvey’s incredible voice front and centre – the latter track filled with the kind of knock-you-sideways lines that the frontman has made his trademark. But it’s the title track that will live longest in Elbow’s setlists.
