The 7th album 'Little Fictions' from Elbow is a captivating listen. It's full of controlled ballads with an approachable melancholy. After founding member/drummer Richard Jupp's departure, Guy Garvey and the band experiment with airy, minimal instrumentation and subtle electronic beats, letting Garvey's husky vocals set the mood. Highlights include 'Magnificent (She Says)', 'Trust the Sun', and 'All Disco'. 'Gentle Storm' has an upbeat, almost danceable rhythm, while 'Kindling' ends the album on a somber note. This is an indie - exclusive white/violet vinyl pressing from Concord Records in 2017. Reviewed by enbee in 02/2017.
Using this vinyl LP is easy. Just place it on a working turntable, gently drop the needle on the groove, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or dirt on it. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place, and keep it upright in a record sleeve to prevent warping. If the vinyl gets dirty, you can use a soft, anti - static record brush to clean the surface. Remember not to use any harsh chemicals as they may damage the vinyl.
