Elbow: The Take Off And Landing Of Everything

FOR THEIR SIXTH album, Elbow opted for a new working method, recording in small combinations rather than all together, with the remaining members chipping in their two penn'orth later. Not that you'd notice: the results are as homogenous as any earlier Elbow album — indeed, if anything, there's a sustained congruence about the rhythms and textures that makes The Take Off And Landing Of Everything seem like an extended meditation on certain musical and lyrical themes.
