Not that he's ever been away but as Costelloites know, he works with artists, dabbles in all forms of music and puts out considerable amounts of work but, for me, he's never better thn when he releases his core material, his bittersweet angst and usually with one or more members of The Attractions to accompany him.
Thankfully, we've not long to wait for his latest offering although he's taken the novel step of releasing it vinyl only at first. The Man who sings Everyday I Write The Book certainly does nothing by it.
Those who have heard the material describe it as blistering and it seems he is carrying that from into gigs Stateside. Here's hoping he does the same in ther UK later this year.
The King Is Dead, Long Live Elvis.
The link to his rambling but funny mesage on his Web site - elviscostello.com - sees EC explain Momofuku "is a tribute to Momofuku Ando, the inventor of the Cup Noodle. Like so many things in this world of wonders, all we had to do to make this record was add water."
The recording sessions grew out of the work Costello had been doing in the studio with Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis on her second solo effort. Lewis and her boyfriend Jonathan Rice appear on Momofuku, along with Costello's band The Imposters.
