It must be great being in Elbow. No pressure, no hype no hipster overload: just a remit to make constantly sparkling torch-pop behemoth songs. And this, their first single from their third LP ‘Leaders Of The Free World’ is definitely one of those.

Over insistent clattering percussion, surgical guitars and Beatles-esque harmonies, singer Guy Garvey** documents the fun of a weekend night out in town, bouncers and all.

It’s hymnal, it’s elegiac, it’s hypnotic, it’s refined chest-beating, it’s simply more of the same excellence from Elbow. Hurrah!

One of the best things at Reading this year. Surprised me as I've never been hugely into them.

Fantastic song. B-Sides are fairly good too, though not up to the "Fallen Angel" ones. High hopes about this here coming album.

Excellent single, and the album's bloody awesome too. Better than the last one, and on a par with Asleep in the Back.
