Elbow start work on sixth album

Elbow have already started work on their follow-up to Build a Rocket Boys!, according to lead singer Guy Garvey.

The band released their fifth album in March, and Garvey has revealed that they are trying a new writing process in the early stages of production.

He told The Mirror: "Rich (drummer Richard Jupp) went into the studio and recorded several different drum patterns for me.

"I'll go away next week and try and write lyrics for them. We've never worked this way before, but we'll see what happens."

Elbow are set to perform on the main stage before headliner Coldplay at Glastonbury on June 25, and Garvey revealed that one of his worst ever experiences had occurred at the Worthy Farm event.

Garvey told The Guardian that waking up in a toilet was "the most unpleasant experience of my life, bar none".

He explained: "People know me as an affable pisshead who likes writing songs. I did have a terrible experience one year though, when I woke up in a toilet.

"I threw my clothes away immediately and bought some new ones. You're picturing me now in some funky tie-dye kaftan, aren't you?"

Guy Garvey has recently said that Elbow's first UK arena tour earlier this year would change the band's writing.
