The CD will be on sale in HMV, Amazon and independent record shops as well as online.
Elbow’s lead singer Guy Garvey said the album is “an angry, old blue lament which finds its salvation in family, friends, the band and new life”.
Giants Of All Sizes was recorded at Hamburg’s Clouds Hill Studio, The Dairy in Brixton, 604 Studios in Vancouver and Blueprint Studios in Salford with additional recording taking place at the band members’ home studios in Manchester. Keyboard player Craig Potter produced and mixed the record, which is released on all formats on October 11. Elbow tour the UK next year.
