Elbow

‘Red’ [V2]

More dreary overhyped pseudo-sensitive ‘I

love Jeff Buckley’ rubbish from the worst

named Manchester band since The New Fast Automatic Daffodils. The omnipresence of

strings on this week’s singles is grating very

heavily, not to mention the horrible OTT

melodrama that has graced far too many

records. These people don’t know their art from their elbow.
