Look Now and Then Tour
Recommended, Don’t Miss
Paramount Theatre Downtown

$45-$65
It’s been a long time since Elvis Costello had a new record worth discussing. After 2008’s raw and wiry Momofuku, Costello hung up the Jazzmaster and donned a fedora, taking up a dilettantish interest in Americana that lasted the length of two conceptually intriguing if wearisome records: 2009’s Secret, Profane & Sugarcane and 2010’s National Ransom. Even the Roots—who collaborated with Costello on 2013’s Wise Up Ghost—couldn’t properly reinvigorate the songwriter. Costello’s new record, Look Now, is a welcome return to form. In addition to featuring some of his most inspired songwriting in decades, highlights such as “Under Lime” and “Stripping Paper” recall the dense symphonic pageantry of Costello’s underrated early 1980s masterpieces, Trust and Imperial Bedroom.
