@elviscostello: ‘Hey Clockface’ scheduled for release on October 30th by [Concord Records]
Costello tells us, “I sang live on the studio floor, directing from the vocal booth. We cut nine songs in two days. We spoke very little. Almost everything the musicians played was a spontaneous response to the song I was singing. I’d had a dream of recording in Paris like this, one day.”
Pump 'Em Up! Elvis Costello's Favourite Music
Paul Stokes for The Quietus - October 21 2020
Lockdown could have been very different and very lonely for Elvis Costello. A resident of Vancouver, Canada, the singer-songwriter was thousands of miles away on a tour of his native UK at the moment things started to close across the globe.
[...]Eventually, postponing his final few dates, the singer-songwriter dodged the bugs and doomsday, making it back to Canada to spend most of his corona enforced isolation in an idyllic cabin on Vancouver Island with his family… and his audio files. Having completed two, week-long recording sessions just before hitting the road for the tour, the enforced break allowed him to make sense of the results.
The first, taking place in Helsinki, was an entirely solo set up which resulted in a collection of beat-flecked, punkish tracks. His second week in a studio swung the other way, as he was joined in Paris by a group of virtuoso musicians assembled by long term keyboard player, The Attractions' (now The Imposters) Steve Nieve. The jazz-leaning group improvised their way through a series of newly written songs, adding a dixie swing to Costello's smouldering emotions.

Eamon Singer rides again, evidently! This is a peculiar soundscape, almost like “Radio Radio” filtered through “My Dark Life”, briefly veering through When I Was Cruel (the album generally, not either of the songs).

But now I fear we fear too much I tried my best to keep my watch To bear up in the light that strips So stop my mouth up with your lips

What is it that I need that I don't already have? Who was there in the past that I couldn't even see? But will I seem so smart, me and my broken heart When I am pretending to be free?
