Our old friend Richard Swift sadly died yesterday morning. His family are still saddled with huge medical costs so if you loved his music and can help please do. Love elbow x x
Today marks 25 years since the release of ‘Asleep in the Back’.
Originally released on 7th May 2001, elbow’s debut album introduced tracks including ‘Red’, ‘Newborn’, ‘Powder Blue’ and ‘Scattered Black and Whites’, and was later shortlisted for the Mercury Music Prize.
To mark the anniversary, a selection of archive videos, live footage and clips from the long out-of-print ‘Asleep in the Back’ film are now being made available on the band’s official YouTube channel for the first time.
