About this item

'Little Fictions' was recorded in Scotland and Manchester and sees the band collaborate with the string players of The Hall Orchestra, the Hall Ancoats Community Choir, members of London Contemporary Voices and session drummer Alex Reeves. As with the previous three elbow albums it was produced by Craig Potter.'Little Fictions' is emphatically a band album. Having written individually for its chart-topping predecessor, 'The Take Off and Landing of Everything', sessions this time were collective affairs, with all four members gathered initially in a house in Scotland before moving to Guy's attic in Prestwich and finalising recordings in the familiar setting of Blueprint studios, Salford.'Little Fictions' is an upbeat album. All the band talk of the sessions being 'joyful', guitarist Mark Potter summarises it as 'the sound of four people who love what they do and each other', of an album that came into being naturally and, at times even unconsciously.
