While the various members pursue different projects away from the band in between studio albums, Elbow will tide fans over with the release of a brand new EP on Friday (July 24th).
“Elbow are involved in various solo projects and collaborative endeavours for the next few months, and we just felt we really wanted to give ‘something’ away to tide fans over until the next album,” frontman Guy Garvey said.
“We’ve always loved the EP as a format and we’ve enjoyed making this one so much, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was another before long.”
‘Lost Worker Bee‘ contains four new songs all inspired by Manchester – these being the title-track, ‘And It Snowed‘, ‘Roll Call‘ and ‘Usually Bright‘.
“All the songs on this EP are set in Manchester city centre,” Garvey added. “Manchester’s symbol has been the worker bee for hundreds of years, and the lead track is about finding love far away from home.
