Following the surprise announcement of a brand new EP earlier this week, Elbow have released a video for its title-track ‘Lost Worker Bee‘. Have a watch below.
“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 explained. “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.”
“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.
“Far from being just a stop gap, this is one of our proudest releases.”
‘Lost Worker Bee‘ contains four new songs in all, each inspired by Manchester. Along with the the title-track there’s ‘And It Snowed‘, ‘Roll Call‘ and ‘Usually Bright‘.
