"Delicious ape"
"As the feeling fades away, the tearing streets create a wave of never-seeing stills in time..."
The Murder Capital's James McGovern: "The album's title summed up that feeling of not being able to communicate or create everything that you want to before you die. It became the ingredient that we needed to be able to make a cohesive body of work."
"And I don't know Jesus anymore"
Elbow's Guy Garvey: "A lot about this record is different. We started recording in a new city, in Hamburg, we changed the way we worked and we all decided from the off to let the songs take the lead, without compromising the vision of each tune. At times, it’s a bleak record, but it has a huge, if bruised, heart. It was a pleasure to make and we are all immensely proud of it. It’s an angry, old blue lament which finds its salvation in family, friends, the band and new life".
"popular beats"
65daysofstatic's Rob Jones: "This was supposed to be the future, but that future got cancelled. History is moving but it’s got nowhere to go. It’s piling up all around us. That’s what this record is about. This atemporality is an illusion, it’s the cultural logic of late capitalism, consuming everything faster and faster, each artefact a more diluted replica of the last. Even the idea that ‘pop will eat itself’ is eating itself. We need to find a way out."
