Last year, Elbow released "Giants of All Sizes," their eighth studio album. NPR calls it an offer of "hope in political darkness": https://www.npr.org/2019/10/13/769946869/music-elbow-releases-new-album

“Baby, empires fall all of the time,” Guy Garvey intones, offering up another one of those quintessential Elbow lines that manages to sound like some bit of poetry Garvey’s uttering over a glass of whiskey, late at night. Actually, considering “Empires” is about the “banality of death,” there’s a couple lyrics in that vein here, like “How can a bland, unremarkable, typical Tuesday be Day Of The Dead?”

#40! Giants of All Sizes is an exploration of mourning in terms both personal and political, as lead singer and lyricist Guy Garvey grapples with the loss of his father and his two close friends, alongside such tragedies as the bombing in the band's hometown of Manchester in 2017 and what Garvey calls the "absolute cultural disaster" of Brexit. Catch the heartbreakingly evocative video here: https://bit.ly/34laGhK
