"Sounds like vintage Costello, with a deep. bubbly bassline" — Los Angeles Tlmes

Long-rumored and shrouded in mystery. this collaborative album between Elvis Costello and The Roots promises to be one of the most unexpected and revelatory releases ol 2013. Born out of multiple performances by Coetelo on the Roots' daylnight job at "Late light Wih Jimmy Falon," this album developed organicaly and is definitely a situation where the whole is greater than the sum of the amazing parts. It surprises with how good the two elements gel, but also sounds exactly how you'd think in your wildest dreams. As The Roots‘ ?uestlove notes. "It's a moody. brooding aflair — cathartic rhythms and dissonant lullabies. I went stark and dark on the music. Elvis went HAM on some 'ol Ezra Pound shit."
