C Duncan has been picked by Elbow to support them on what they’ve described as their ‘most extensive tour since 2008’ starting early next year.
Duncan will back the tour which is set to coincide with Elbow’s next album, out on February 3rd and ‘beat heavy’ according to frontman Guy Garvey. “It’s really quite chunky and beat heavy,” he told DJ Jo Whiley. “There’s a sparseness to the songs which perhaps we’re not known for.”
“The themes are ranging as always; great big themes and concerns for the world at the same time as falling in love, looking forwards and backwards and all of the things.”
Duncan should be in good form by the time he joins Elbow what with his own tour coming up around the same time, ending a few weeks prior in Nottingham.
