elbow-seldom%20seen.jpgAs unshakeable as Coldplay comparisons continue to be when it comes to Guy Garvey's default croon, Elbow's keen ears in the studio keep them a cut above, toying with touches like opener "Starlings"' startling orchestral hits that jump out of a burbling bed of arpeggiated triplets, or "Grounds For Divorce"'s gospel-blues tinge. Although it hasn't yet been singled out for UK chart action, the group'd be wise to let "Weather To Fly" out in the open, a song light and catchy enough to hang chorusless for as long as it pleases.
