Elbow frontman Guy Garvey has teamed up with Fiction Records’s managing director Jim Chancellor to create the new label Snug Platters.
It’ll be a vinyl-only affair, with all the label’s releases available solely on 10″ and limited to 1,000 copies. Its first issue will be Manchester musician Steve‘s debut EP ‘Danger! High Failure Rate‘.
Garvey is expected to release his debut solo album at some point this year after securing a first UK number one with Elbow in 2014 thanks to ‘The Take Off and Landing Of Everything‘.
“I’m going into the studio to work on a weird side project,” he told XFM last year. “I’m gonna write a load of stuff and then invite famous mates to come and play on it. I don’t even know if I’m gonna sing them, I just know I’m going to write the words and invite the people.”
“I’m almost certainly going to try and get Jimi Goodwin on bass because, well, he’s the second best bass player in the country after Pete. It might be a complete disaster, but it’ll be fun finding out.”
