Want to get the straight dope about Efterklang's new DiS-approved album Magic Chairs, out this week?

“We’re still incredibly proud of this record” says Elbow frontman Guy Garvey, having dissected the reissue of Asleep In The Back for Drowned In Sound. It’s easy to see why. Whilst 2008’s Mercury-bagging The Seldom Seen Kid may have sent the group truly stratospheric, it was merely a furthering of their wonderful ability to convey poise and grandiosity amidst the humdrum backdrop of a Northern town. The group’s 2001 debut album, in many ways, remains a template for the much loved five-piece. Re-released this week with added bells and whistles in the shape of 1998 EP Noisebox, some live recordings and Lamacq sessions, the band's avuncular leader here offers a track-by-track reminiscence on where it all began.»
