Elbow have renamed their forthcoming sixth album as 'The Take Off And Landing Of Everything'.
The album by the Mercury-winning Mancunians was previously titled Carry Her, Carry Me. In a new interview with Q Magazine, frontman Guy Garvey explained the change in name.
"It always happens, this," said Garvey. "The title's now from a song there - this huge, cacophonous thing, born of our love for space rock, prog, Primal Scream and Spiritualized."
He continued: "It's to do with the fact that there have been lots of life events. There are five members of the band, people have split up, got together, had children, it never stops this stuff. Especially round the 40 mark; there's lots of re-evaluations in life, and yet I wanted to remain celebratory about that. Everybody's feeling relief with remorse, next to joy, next to loss. But I think think laughing very hard and worrying very little is a good way to keep young."
Typically wise words from Mr Garvey.

Elaborating on the mood of the album, Garvey added: "One overarching theme on this record is me fliting between Manchester and New York. I'm having an intense love affair with Brooklyn. The energy of Manhatting I can only dip into - I couldn't live there. I need the option of a cosy pub and a quiet chat."
The Take Off And Landing Of Everything is due for release on 10 March 2014.
