Elbow

In January 2014, Elbow was gearing up for the release of their album "The Take Off and Landing of Everything," which came out in March 2014. This live recording of "Lippy Kids" at Blueprint Studios showcases the band's evolution, as it was a pivotal moment in their career following the success of their previous album, "Build a Rocket Boys!" released in 2011. This live performance highlights Elbow's signature blend of emotive lyrics and expansive soundscapes, a hallmark of their work. Additionally, the band had gained considerable acclaim, including winning the Mercury Prize in 2008 for "The Seldom Seen Kid," solidifying their reputation in the UK music scene. The anticipation surrounding "The Take Off and Landing of Everything" indicated the band's continued relevance and artistic growth, and they quickly leveraged their live performances to promote the new material.
