Elbow have shared a new single titled ‘Balu’ – you can listen to it below.The gritty, synth-heavy track is the latest preview of the Manchester band’s 10th studio album ‘Audio Vertigo’, which is due to arrive on March 22 via Polydor/Geffen (pre-order here).It sees frontman Guy Garvey sing over an infectious groove and triumphant horns, with the song finding Elbow in a heavier, more explosive sonic space.A description reads: ‘”Balu’ shares much musical DNA with the wider album; a focus on rhythm, a willingness to experiment with new sounds, and a love of beats that reflects the freedom the band felt throughout the recording process.”The single is accompanied by an official video, which combines black-and-white footage of Garvey and co.
performing live with some abstract clips of a mystery character in a mask.
