Elbow announces new album, U.S. tour

The British indie rockers of Elbow have a new album, The Seldom Seen Kid, coming out April 22. The follow up to 2005’s Leaders of the Free World, the new record heralds several new changes for the group: a major label deal (Fiction/Geffen), its own studio space at Salford’s Blueprint Studios, and even fatherhood for several of the band members. It seems Elbow is all growns up.

The band has announced a handful of tour dates, with more expected shortly.

Dates:

26 - New York, N.Y. @ Webster Hall
27 - Washington, D.C. @ Sixth & I Historic Synagogue
29 - Chicago, Ill. @ Park West
30 - Minneapolis, Minn. @ Fine Line Music Café
