The third album from Elbow, Leaders of the Free World, is self-produced in Salford and spawns the heavily aired title track and the epic "Forget Myself." This time Elbow provide string arrangements while Marius de Vries (Bowie, Annie Lennox, Blow Monkeys, Coldcut, Brian Eno and U2) adds his distinctive string magic as well. By now, Elbow are also adept in the fields of video art form, working with The Soup Collective, and win praise for paying close attention to their idiosyncratic artwork.
