The Everthere
Elbow · 2005Recorded for Elbow’s self-produced third album, Leaders of the Free World, at Blueprint Studios in Salford, Manchester. The track’s original crediting lists Elbow as producer, with Tom Rothrock as additional producer, Mike Tarantino as engineer, and Elbow and Rothrock as co-mixers, with Jason Mott as assistant mixer. As the eighth track on Leaders of the Free World, it appears on the band’s 2005 album era that moved toward a sharper, more direct sound while retaining the group’s reflective songwriting. Its placement on a self-produced album underscores its role as part of the record’s cohesive mid-album sequence rather than as a standalone single. The song has remained part of Elbow’s official album catalog and continues to be presented on the band’s site as one of the key tracks from Leaders of the Free World. It endures as a deep-cut album song for listeners who follow the group’s 2005 period.
