What the label says:

Fiction Records are very proud to announce that Elbow are now one of the family.

The first single is ‘Grounds For Divorce’ (out March 10th) from their fourth studio album, ‘The Seldom Seen Kid’ (out March 17th), is a welcome return from the band, driven by a thunderous riff that reminds listeners of Elbow’s love of the heavy as well as the delicate.

‘Grounds For Divorce’ lyrically is affected and inspired by loss. The single is about the initial aftermath, the desire to flee the situation, find another life and wipe the slate clean of all the emotional entanglements that come with the death of a close friend. It also rocks.

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
