Elvis Costello details new LP with The Imposters ft. Burt Bacharach (stream 2 tracks)

Elvis Costello & The Imposters will release new LP Look Now on October 12 via Concord. It’s Elvis’ first album in five years and his first with The Imposters (which includes Attractions members Steve Nieve and Pet Thomas) since 2008’s Momofuku. Last year’s Imperial Bedroom & Other Chambers tour was the impetus for the new LP. “I knew if we could make an album with the scope of Imperial Bedroom and some of the beauty and emotion of Painted From Memory, we would really have something,” says Costello. Speaking of Painted From Memory, this new album also finds Elvis re-teaming with songwriting legend Burt Bacharach, who co-wrote and plays on two songs. You can stream two songs from the album, the R&B-tinged “Unwanted Number” and the suave pop of “Under Lime” (neither of which are Bacharach co-writes), below.

Having canceled European tour dates to recover from cancer surgery, Elvis is on the mend will be back on the road with The Imposters in November for a North American tour. All dates are listed below.
