Look Now , October 2018
http://www.musictap.com/2018/07/23/new- ... -look-now/
On October 12, Elvis Costello will release his newest album, Look Now. It will be with his current band, The Imposters. The new album will feature twelve new songs (see list below) and will be issued in a variety of forms via Concord Records. Elvis Costello & The Imposters have previously delivered two albums, The Delivery Man (2004), and Momofuku (2008).
Look Now will be issued on CD, a Deluxe Edition, and standard and HD DD. (I’m sure a vinyl LP is in the works as well!) The Deluxe Edition will provide an additional four songs, one an Elvis Costello solo tune from the film, Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool.
Pre-release singles will be released shortly (“Under Lime”, “Unwanted Number”)

Re: Look Now: new album announced!
Great news - and it'll be interesting to see when the "older" new songs (Unwanted Number, Burnt Sugar and Suspect my tears) were recorded. They go back a long way.
Who’s this kid with his mumbo jumbo?

Re: Look Now: new album announced!
Fantastic news!!
Elvis has said that Burt came to the recording sessions and that they recorded two EC/BB songs.
But there are three co-writes:
Don’t Look Now, Photographs Can Lie and He’s Given Me Things.
I expected also the following songs to appear on the album:
The Last Year Of My Youth
Go Tell (Your Quiet Sister)
They’re Not Laughing At Me Now
What Is It That I Need That I Don’t Already Have

The Jazz Echo website seems to say "Under Lime" and "Unwanted Number" will be released Friday, July 27.

Re: Look Now: new album announced!
The cover is most likely by Elvis himself, like his iPad images for the booklet with last year's tour.
Look Now will be issued on CD, a Deluxe Edition,
Maybe it's his way of giving emphasis to the core album , the 12 tracks. I daresay they will work well together , sequenced for a certain effect, maybe six tracks on each side of the vinyl and so on. Now you have an option of going for that. That's for the punters who choose that way of listening to an album, start to finish. Right now I'm planning to only get any vinyl edition , and download the extras.

Re: Look Now: new album announced!
The best birthday present would be a full scale UK tour imminently after the release - but I'll settle for the vinyl with 4 bonus tracks making 16 spread over 4 sides (4 x 4- geddit !!)
Re: Look Now: new album announced!
Well, it's his bluntest, least-'flowing' album title. But the song titles are exciting - and how about the decades-later re-emergence of the Carol King song, and Unwanted Number?!!!

Have to say I agree with Neil though. The new title didn't really jump out at me when I first read it. Wonder what the inspiration behind it is?
I love you just as much as I hate your guts.
Re: Look Now: new album announced!
Good point, Sulky. And it doesn't matter about the title, as long as the songs are great. Sooooo looking forward to hearing this!sulky lad wrote:Neil wroteWhat more so than "Spike" ?!Well, it's his bluntest, least-'flowing' album title.

Ah, thanks - I missed that - somebody already said it. Great, that's this Friday! 'Under Lime' - suitably cheery title from our Elv.

Of course, the chances of finding a shop selling vinyl singles released on the same day here in the South West is like finding a virgin in St. Just (as my old boss used to say !)
I guess all he's been through it was hardly going to be Club Tropicana - I'm just glad there's the will power and the drive to get material out and the "old" new songs are so exciting to know we'll finally hear them finally hear in a polished manner.'Under Lime' - suitably cheery title from our Elv.

I guess I'll just listen to the singles on Spotify (if they're there), then buy the CD when it comes out.sulky lad wrote:the chances of finding a shop selling vinyl singles released on the same day here in the South West is like finding a virgin in St. Just (as my old boss used to say !)
Funny that there's been no official announcement from Elvis, though!

The link to MusicTap is dead.
They published this info problably too soon.
But, as Elvis said: the official announcement is imminent.

Re: Look Now: new album announced!
EC tweeted criticism at some guy who called Look Now "his first rock album in ten years" and confirmed that the preview tracks are coming Friday.
Elvis Costello wrote:@trackXtrack
It has nothing to do with rock...
Unless you mean Edinburgh rock Which is delicious.
If you’d had a little patience
You could have waited until Friday For a song or two.
Instead you’re just plain wrong...
It’s easy to be quick. It’s not so easy to be smart
