ELBOW — Announce ‘What Am I Without You’ Music Box || Available From Piccadilly Records on 29 Sept
Elbow’s “What Am I Without You” is now a music box.
Out Friday 30th September, the Limited 1st Edition comes with individually numbered postcard. A limited amount will also be available from Manchester’s Piccadilly Records from Thursday 29th September.
“What Am I Without You” is the closing track on Elbow’s ninth studio album; ‘Flying Dream 1’. The album was recorded at the Theatre Royal in Brighton in 2021, while closed due to the pandemic.
Uncut called it “gorgeously somnambulant, yet softly romantic”, Mojo cited “the subtle complexity of the music” and The Observer noted its “softly articulated warmth and empathy” — drawing comparisons with Talk Talk’s legendary ‘Laughing Stock’.
Elbow are donating their share of proceeds from this Music Box to help facilitate the ongoing therapy for their good friend Mat Andrew, the former owner of Vibes Records in Bury.
