Elbow
Leaders of the Free World

V2

WE SAY

This is the title track and second single from Elbow's third album. It's their third great album, and their third to receive rave reviews. But whether it's through consistency of quality, or whether the time is simply right for them, it feels like they're about to become a premiership, platinum band. Watch the video here (Lo, Hi). And download their Xfm Podcast here.
