The Newborn EP by Elbow
The Newborn EP is an EP by Elbow, released in 2000. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Newborn”, on 3 lists with a best position of #71.
The Newborn EP, Elbow's second release, came out in 2000 on Ugly Man Records, the first label to take a chance on the Bury band, who'd been playing together since 1990 and had only settled on the name Elbow a few years earlier. Guy Garvey sings and plays guitar, Craig Potter handles the keys, Mark Potter plays guitar, Pete Turner is on bass and original drummer Richard Jupp holds it all together.
"Newborn" is the centerpiece, a slow, swelling piece that climbs from a murmur to a mighty roar, and it went on to Asleep in the Back, their first full-length album, alongside "Bitten by the Tailfly", which turned up there longer and remixed. "Kisses" and the radio edit of "Newborn" appear nowhere else.
