Up until now we were unsure if Elbow’s latest album, The Seldom Seen Kid, was going to receive a US release, but finally that issue has been resolved. Their follow-up to their ‘05 album Leaders Of The Free World will be the band’s first on Fiction/Geffen, hitting stores on April 22.

Although we’ve already seen the video for “Grounds For Divorce,” the first US single will be “One Day Like This,” with a digital release on March 18. Frontman Guy Garvey and his bandmates will be performing a handful of dates in North America, beginning on April 26 at NYC’s Webster Hall.
