iTunes Review
The Seldom Seen Kid, the fourth album by Britain’s Elbow, won the esteemed 2008 Mercury Music Prize in Britain. A moody, contemplative rock record rooted in the commercial ground tilled by U2 and Coldplay, TSSK didn’t quite reach the charthood it should have, for reasons having nothing to do with the music. Using quiet spaces, lithe strings, and pianos alongside glinting guitars and gently booming drums, Elbow, much like Radiohead or Doves, makes orchestral, emotional music that reaches deeper than many current bands. From the billowing, sunny “One Day Like This” to the blue-eyed soul of “The Bones of You” and the mournful elegy “Friend of Ours,” Elbow’s music — and front man Guy Garvey’s voice — is richly evocative and moving. The record’s pulse hits its zenith on the stomping chantey “Grounds for Divorce” (getting a popular workout over the years in TV and film), its veiled farewell to musician and mate Bryan Glancy (see “Friend of Ours” above) drowned like grief in a bottomless pint of Guinness. (Notice to Peter Gabriel fans: Gabriel covers the elegant “Mirrorball” as part of his Scratch My Back covers project.)

The Seldom Seen Kid
Elbow Is An Awesome Band They Start In 2001 And Here We Are In 2010! They Just Keep Getting BETTER From Asleep In The Back To Cast Of Thousands To Leaders Of The Free World To The Xfm Sessions (Elbow Podcast) To The Seldom Seen Kid To Their Itunes Festival! And now The Past Caught up to the Present but who knows about The Future?! Once You Hear "Grounds For Divorce" OH MY GOD! That Song Is Awesome! Once You Get There You Will Want To Jump 1 Million Feet! And That Song "Some Riot" It's Kind Of a Downer... I mean, There are some top 10 sad songs out there! And "Some Riot" Is #6/10 According To Me. And I "Belive" The Include a Grounds For Divorce (Live In Prochester Hall) And Hotel Istanbul Album Bonus Tracks On TSSK.
