What the press say

'Stupendous... in a saner world Elbow would be vacuuming up platinum albums.'

The Sunday Times

If you like Coldplay, Richard Hawley or Peter Gabriel try...

Who are they?

One of alternative music's best-kept secrets.  They're an English five piece;  this is their fourth album.

What do I get?

A record of beautiful, low-key, British rock music.  Often fragile and always lovely, The Seldom Seen Kid is a gentle album driven along by soaring guitars, strings and piano;  held together by Guy Garvey's astonishing, fragile voice and some fabulous melodies.  This is the sort of music you imagine sound-tracking a great film, grand in scale and ambition and yet subtle and affecting, Once you've heard this (their best work so far) you'll want to explore their first three albums.  An absolute cracker!

And?

Radiohead and Coldplay are fans, and it's a wonder that Elbow haven't yet joined them at the top of the charts.  The Seldom Seen Kid might see to that.
