Happy holidays are finally here in the form of new song Magnificent (She Says) from the great British band Elbow along with news that the band will release a new studio album entitled Little Fictions (on Polydor) in February.  See the new album’s tracklist below.

According to the band’s press release, the new album was recorded in Scotland and Manchester, was produced by Craig Potter and features string players from the Hallé Orchestra, backing vocals from Hallé Ancoats Community Choir and London Contemporary Voices, and session drummer Alex Reeves.

Elbow’s last album was 2014’s The Take Off and Landing of Everything, which was one of our Best Albums of 2014.

Check the new song out below, featuring strings and ample swoon. Great stuff from the always-reliable Elbow. While the band has frequently featured strings in its recordings and tours, the strings here remind of Radiohead’s Burn The Witch.
