Guy Garvey: “It’s fascinating for us to revisit the atmosphere we created, and the Ritz feels like the perfect setting to capture that atmosphere. A time machine night for us and for the fans. See you there.”
‘Dis-Graceland 463–465 Bury New Road’ is out now — the latest track from ‘AUDIO VERTIGO ECHO elbow EP5’, released on 6 June.
Named after the former residence of the Seldom Seen Kid, Bryan Glancy, the song reflects on a time of sofa-surfing, dawns in Manchester, and the slow decay of a once-loved home. The topline melody was written by long-time friend and collaborator Jimi Goodwin of Doves.
