Small article from MEN.

Sounds interesting! Something to look forward next winter.
But what means "Sapling trust" ? Could not find it out in my dictionary...

Thank you, but that far I was either. I can not quite realise how to combine a sapling with trust...

Possibly "the sapling of trust", as in "the beginnings of trust". Sort of like the start of a relationship.

Ah, thanks, that sounds understandable.

'Darkling Thrush', Thomas Hardy poem came to me, when I read this....don't know why? except jiggle a couple of letters around and add a couple of 'h's to trust.
Sapling Trust

Sapling Trust

...yeah

Hehe I love the "local news" slant - all the schools etc., "local boys make good" stuff from the MEN.

What a strange and beautiful name - whether or not it becomes the title (sounds unhopeful from the rest of the band's reaction) presumably it will all become clear from a song lyric? I presume it's nothing to do with a plant-a-tree charity...

Oh, fantastic to get a bit of news! Any scrap is welcome...
Not sure about that title either, but hey, I`ll take it !!!

Here's hoping it will be Jan or Feb of next year for the new album, not long to wait now!!

I need some new Elbow tracks now, I need them bad......

Don't know what it is lately, just havent been getting into anything interesting. i know there's been plenty about but nothing has really grabbed me that intensely or stuck with me this year. Maybe i've just lost my mojo.

Naaah, you haven't lost your mojo, you just need an Elbow infusion! We all could do with one, I reckon. I miss them something awful and can't wait to hear whatever they're cooking up.

Some more fresh news:

"The working title of the album at the moment is Lippy Kids," frontman Guy Garvey revealed to BBC 6 Music.
"It's quite a nostalgic thing. I've got a thing about growing up," he told Sean Keavney on the breakfast show. "Not needing to! But a certain period of your life when - well kids are called 'hoodies' these days aren't they when they reach their teens. I remember it being an amazing important time, so I've written a lot about that."

Off to listen to the Shaun Keaveny show, then:

(Ow, Guy's voice is sooo different on the interview.)

It was so good to hear Guy talking about the new album!
So very excited!!

Absolutley

Good work Natalia, that was cool to hear him being so positive about the new stuff ! 'Lippy Kids' top name !

Ah, thanx for the tip

Ah! I read about this just a few moments ago. I might be a little too happy about the potential of an album coming around soon. Seems like forever since we've heard new material, even though Mercy Street was released in May. Three months is too long to hear new Elbow songs.

Great to hear this!
Am really dying to hear some more!

Doubt the working title will be made the actual album name, but either way...

I am really, REALLY hoping the new album's out by next summer. I'm planning a trip to the UK then and would love to scoop up any UK-only merch I can get my mitts on while I'm over. It'd be wonderful to have the new stuff available by then! Not to mention the fact that if I have to wait past next summer for new Elbow tunes, I may explode! Ohpleasepleasepleaseplease....

And they may be touring then if they've got a new album out ......

Sssssssshhhh, Ticky, don't even suggest such things, or my head really will explode!! I mean, if that happened and somehow I got the timing right I think I'd die of happiness (if that's medically possible). But I never, EVER have that sort of good luck so I won't get greedy. I'm hoping for maybe T in the Park as I'll (mostly) be in Scotland, but if there WAS an Elbow tour happening next summer...nope, nope, better not even go there in my mind, or else...

There are a few very special guests on the record, and hopefully they’ll be coming out with us live as well

Any ideas?
