Guy Garvey Vague on Future of Elbow
The lead singer has told Xfm their friendship will always come before the music....
Speaking to Xfm's John Kennedy about their new album 'Build a Rocket Boys', Guy refused to put a time-line on their future:
"If one day one of the lads said "I've had enough lets wind it down, lets do one more record and see what we can get out of it because I've got kids" I'd totally go along with that. They are my friends before the music. We're only doing this as long as we are mates and as long as its fun."
Guy and Pete from the band were talking Xfm through their latest release track by track on X-posure.
Pete told John despite the success of 'The Seldom Seen Kid', which propelled them into the mainstream and won the Mercury Prize, they have stayed true to their roots for the follow up:
"The worst thing in the world we could have done would be to betray the work that we've done, it would ruin what went before. The odd band that you love and then they do something llike that it kinda tarnishes all the stuff that they've done that's great."
