Our Take

Elbow's latest offering, "Build A Rocket Boys!" is a whimsical journey through the cosmos of sound and emotion. The band, led by the charismatic Guy Garvey, have once again captured lightning in a bottle with their unique blend of indie rock and heartfelt lyrics.

From the opening track, "The Birds," it's clear that Elbow are on top form, with Garvey's soulful vocals soaring over intricate guitar melodies and sweeping orchestration. Each song feels like a mini epic, with lush arrangements that build and crest like waves crashing on the shore.

Tracks like "Neat Little Rows" and "Dear Friends" showcase the band's ability to create uplifting anthems that stick in your head long after the music has stopped. Meanwhile, the hauntingly beautiful "Lippy Kids" reminds us of the bittersweet nostalgia of youth.

Throughout the album, Elbow's musical prowess shines through, with each member contributing their own unique flavour to the mix. Whether it's Craig Potter's atmospheric keyboards or Mark Potter's soaring guitar lines, every element comes together to create a rich tapestry of sound.

In conclusion, "Build A Rocket Boys!" is a triumphant return for Elbow, cementing their status as one of Britain's most beloved bands. So grab a pint, settle in with a comfortable armchair, and let the music transport you to another dimension. Cheers, lads!
