elbow release a new EP on 24th July. The ‘Lost Worker Bee’ EP has 4 brand new songs all based upon their home town of Manchester. The track titles are ‘Lost Worker Bee’, ‘And It Snowed’, ‘Roll Call’ & ‘Usually Bright’.

“elbow are involved in various solo projects and collaborative endeavours for the next few months and we just felt we really wanted to get ‘something’ away to tide fans over until the next album. We’ve always loved the EP as a format and we’ve enjoyed making this one so much I wouldn’t be surprised if there was another before long. All the songs on this EP are set in Manchester city centre. Manchester’s symbol has been the worker bee for hundreds of years and the lead track is about finding love far away from home. Far from being just a stop gap this is one of our proudest releases.” – Guy Garvey
