Garvey explains how Elbow developed a beat-driven mindset for their new album, leading to a reinventing of their recording approach. Bands like Talk Talk, R.E.M., and The Beatles provided inspiration.
Reflecting on The Beatles, Garvey found an interview with an engineer from The White Album insightful. The engineer noted the work ethic shift when any three versus all four band members were present.
Apart from musical influences, Garvey's creative approach was also shaped by witnessing a knife fight in Istanbul. This event caused him to reevaluate his perceptions of himself and interactions with strangers.
