British alternative rock band Elbow has recently celebrated their 20th
year together. Having spent the summer in quiet repose rehearsing and starting
to write and record studio album No 6, they are ready to embark on a flurry of
activity over the next 6 months. ‘Dead In The Boot’ is the long awaited Elbow
B-sides compilation, featuring songs from across the bands career, most of
which are not currently available for retail. The album features 13 B-sides and
non-album tracks which have been selected by the band as their favourite from
their career. "None of our B-sides are album rejects. It's a different
space, usually just post finishing an album when all the members of elbow are
chiming and feeling very creative. This gives 'Dead In The Boot' a real late
night vibe.” "It was important to us that this collection be an album in
its own right, so for some fans it may seem like there are glaring omissions,
but these songs are the ones that hung together perfectly."
