This song is absolutely wonderful, and it's completely revitalized my interest in this band. From what I understand, Geffen is giving this a hefty push to US alternative in a few weeks. They managed to get it in the UK Top 20 (their first single to do this!). It's a surprisingly rootsy and bluesy American sounding track...sort of like BRMC on "Howl", but maybe more impressive sounding.  :o It also might remind some of you of Cold War Kids. I think it could do well over here. I mean it. Album info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seldom_Seen_KidIt is out April 22nd here. Video for "Grounds for Divorce": www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL4mywCOJXA |

Grounds For Divorce is a great track. It is nice to see Elbow getting some success in the UK with this track and hopefully it will catch on in the US.

It always amazes me how some bands can recieve so much critical acclaim yet get almost nothing of commerical success. This song is good, yet probably wont see much of a sniff on the north american market. Sad. Maybe they can get Timbaland to mix it and it'll blow up.....
That's even more depressing......

I'm hoping Geffen will throw some money in their direction & have their PR people work their asses off to get them noticed. More importantly, it is essential that this song be seen and heard in the right places, and often. TV promo would be ideal.

They should get Madonna's people on it, I heard the first clip of 4 Minutes on a commerical before I even heard the whole song (besides that horrid French radio rip) |

Out next week here. Some rumors suggest they might be in talks to do an SNL performance.
Since My Morning Jacket will be on SNL in May, I almost believe it!

It's off to a good start in Canada:
276 82 ELBOW Grounds For Divorce 24 4 20 0.023
I think this reminds me of Beck the most.

101.1 in Chicago has added it. I hope KROQ does!

Is this going for adds in this format? Just checked All Access, and their impact date is nowhere to be found.  They really should really push this! This has a fighting chance. |
