It's astonishing that Elbow's band members have been playing together for 20 years. The songs on their latest album Build a Rocket Boys lack any real flash, though that's entirely the appeal of this UK bar band's unhurried structures. The sound is a little Coldplay heaped with the showmanship and grownupedness found in those fellas from The Duckworth Lewis Method or even Iron & Wine. The track With Love is a confidently delivered jawdropper. Build a Rocket Boys is a beautiful and mature antidote to a world that's still a bit bonkers.
