Check out my review of Elbow’s latest album: Flying Dream 1 at Positive-Feedback.com. It’s a gorgeous introspective record. LINK IN BIO - Here’s the intro: “Consistency and critical acclaim are the banes of an artist's existence. Countless bands have made this unfortunate discovery throughout millennia. Release a hit single your first time out, or, God forbid, an entire album that's embraced by the critics and the record-buying masses, and it feels almost impossible to meet expectations from that point on. Terms like "sophomore jinx" came into existence for a reason. Delivering music with that scope of critical and commercial impact over the span of an artist's career is a true rarity, especially in these days of instant bot-made TikTok stardom. Unfortunately, however seemingly impossible and lofty those goals may be, there is another brand of consistency that is even harder to achieve, and perhaps far more important when it comes to art: The ability to consistently create and release quality content (though, as we all know, the notion of "quality" is in the ear of the beholder). Elbow is one of those magical rarities. Somehow Guy Garvey and his musical mates have managed to build a formidably robust catalog of poignant, soulful, and timeless music. Thankfully Flying Dream 1, their latest album is no exception...” #elbow #newmusicreleases #positivefeedbackonline #elbowflyingdream1 https://www.instagram.com/p/CWlneYsPRjI/?utm_medium=tumblr
