Zane Lowe of BBC’s Radio 1 debuted the new single from Elbow, Grounds for Divorce, last week on his show. The song comes off the forthcoming record, The Seldom Seen Kid, due out in March on Fiction Records.
Singer Guy Garvey told BBC Radio’s 6 Music what to expect from the record:
“MP3 culture and download culture has meant that songs are sold on an individual song basis - on the quality of an individual song.
“But we very definitely wanted to make one last ‘album,’ if you know what i mean, in terms of - we are an album band, very definitely, and even if it’s picked apart it’s meant to be listened to start to finish.”
Well, until I get the full album, I’m going to have to survive on this radio rip of Grounds for Divorce, a blues-injected stomper that reveals the album’s title within the lyrics (”Mondays are for drinking to the seldom seen kid” … ?).

This band is so amazing. Can’t wait to hear the entire album.

Pingback by new elbow single–grounds for divorce « Feet up on the coffee table, drink in hand. 01.29.08 @ 12:11 amExcellent track. Can’t wait for the album, and the tour. Elbow are easily one of the most under-rated bands around.
Comment by Hot Lunch 02.07.08 @ 10:52 am[...] I’m not one to often use exclamation points to get my point across (OK, maybe sometimes). But I think after watching the new video for Meanest Man Contest’s Throwing Away Broken Electronics, you’ll be pretty amped up, too. [...]
