"The Morning Hour": Elbow, Ground

Third time in the Morning Hour and I think I finally found an album I want to buy, The Seldom Seen Kid.

Despite being "in business" since the late '90s, the band has self produced its last two albums and still retains a kind of "true indie" aura that most of the other bands have lost at their second album or sooner.
As the first line of the post testifies, radios are now massively pushing the band's last album, winner of the Mercury Prize of 2008, but these are musicists who, dropped by Universal, have worked for years with a label called Ugly Man Records, and made it nevertheless!

I'm not yet sure it's one of their lyrics or it is just something they asked the people at Glasto to sing with them, but I cannot help but going nuts for a band that writes "We still believe in love, so fuck you"
