Little Fictions by Elbow
Little Fictions is an album by Elbow, released in 2017. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Magnificent (She Says)”, on 3 lists with a best position of #28.
Little Fictions, Elbow's seventh studio album, arrived on Polydor on 3 February 2017, and it's the first record the Bury band made without founding drummer Richard Jupp, who had left the year before. Keyboard player Craig Potter produced it, and without Jupp the songs ride looping, swaying grooves that leave plenty of room for Guy Garvey's warm, weathered voice.
The Hallé Orchestra and its choir turn up to widen the frame, adding orchestral swell and massed voices to a record that is more often tender than grand. "Magnificent (She Says)" led the singles, with "All Disco" and "Gentle Storm" following, and the core of Garvey, Craig and Mark Potter and Pete Turner sounds like a band that has been playing together since 1990, because it has.
