Elbow
Elbow is back with yet another beautifully realized album of lush indie rock, called The Seldom Seen Kid. I have no idea why this band is not more famous by now; I always assume that everybody knows about these guys, but I keep getting blank stares when I mention them to friends. Sure, there's an understated quality about their sound that is potentially easy to overlook, but it doesn't take too many listens to realize this band is very nearly the ideal of rich yet intimate rock.
Elbow - The Bones Of You
Elbow - One Day Like This
Recently on Comfort Radio:
Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra - Axel Grease
Sly & the Family Stone - Babies Making Babies
Clue To Kalo - Nine Thousand Nautical Miles

elbow: what it would sound like if morrisey borrowed peter gabriel's voice and hired R.E.M. to write songs that sounded like madonna tunes? not half bad.
