Elbow - in studio

April 15, 2006

Known for their unique sound and the deeply personal lyrics of singer Guy Garvey, Elbow have received vast critical acclaim and been endorsed by major artists REM, U2, and Blur.

St. Paul, Minn. — Elbow, from Manchester, England, sent three of their five members up to the Current studios to chat with Steve Nelson and bring us a sample of their lush, complex, and thoughtful sound. With just piano, guitar, and voice, they played pared-down songs from their latest releases.

Elbow came to town to support their new record, "Leaders of the Free World."

Songs performed: "The Stops," "Fugitive Motel," "Great Expectations."
