Elbow have shared some new music in the form of ‘What Time Do You Call This?‘, which will be a part of the soundtrack to the new Simon Pegg film Man Up.
Have a listen below.
Director Ben Palmer has explained how Elbow got involved in the OST, which is due for release on May 25th: “The band saw an early cut in Manchester and, thankfully, loved it. A couple of days later, Guy had already penned the lyrics and we were blown away. It was the perfect fit and a dream climax to the journey.”
It’s the first bit of new material from Elbow since ‘The Take Off and Landing Of Everything‘ provided them with their first UK number one album last year.
“Eerie moments of silence punctuate this final track, filled in with ghostly synths that owe something in their own way to the epilogue of Jeff Wayne’s War Of The Worlds,” our review reads. “Like that weird and infamous album, we’re left cold; there’s no resolution, no grand finale to see us off. It makes you wonder if the album is deliberately back to front, and this is no ending, but a beginning.”
