Cover story: Elbow
Britpop may be a ten—year—old memory kept alive by marketing men, but in some ways the Manchester—based band Elbow are perfectly in keeping with its spirit. These days, the idea of Blur and Oasis slugging it out on the pages of the Nil/IE is a cause for quaint nostalgia. We live in a new era in which one album from Coldplay is important enough to have a major effect on the overall profit figures for EMI. Elbow are certainly not interested in being another Coldplay: by their own admission they are not tailoring their sound for the global mass market. They are nevertheless a big, beautiful, ballsy Manchester band. And doesn’t that idea dredge up delicious memories? See feature on page 8.
