Forget Myself

For a band who have influenced Coldplay so heavily, Manchester’s Elbow have never benefited much from the resulting scene. And while this is neither distinctive nor spectacular enough to suggest their forthcoming album will cause a change, it at least shows Coldplay have some good taste. ‘Forget Myself’ is a grower of a track; given time its mainstream indie-pop powers fully kick into action and unfurl into a worry-free, enjoyable three-and-a-half minutes.
