I've not listened to his stuff much in recent years, and always mean to when I see KD and Jorge and everyone else talking about him. After seeing him last month in Chicago I was re-inspired to do so, and the new stuff is really, really, good.

Head over heels in love with this album. Listened to it all weekend. The songwriting is so rich and layered and Sebastian Krys's production is so lush and textured. Elvis and The Imposters are all in fine form. In fact, I think this is the best he's sounded vocally since North. Instantly my favorite album of 2018. Everyone should listen to it

Dude, it's really good. So many sections of songs that earworm their way in for days at a time. Melodies everywhere and the playing throughout is tasteful.

Interestingly... I think he might have made his own perfect "starter record". All the elements I respond to in his work are represented in various forms here, as is the breadth and scope of it. I feel like if someone asked me which EC album they should start with, I would be tempted to encourage them to just pick up this one.

Jorge, I've been listening to a lot of Elvis Costello lately. But randomly throughout the catalog. Have you ever put together a playlist on Spotify that you think encapsules your favorites?

Look Now just won a Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Album.
Well deserved, it's a beautiful album, but I would've thought it qualified for last year's awards instead of this year considering its release date.
I'd be curious to know what the record is for time elapsed between an album's release date and its Grammy win. I feel like this sort of delay is normal, but I can never keep track of the rules.

I have a playlist that was meant as a "starter pack" to introduce new listeners, but not one that truly represents my personal favorites. But I had an idea to make two ten-song playlists. "Costello: Easy Mode" with the accessible pop-rock stuff and "Costello: Hard Mode" with the jazz, chamber music, and more esoteric stuff. Could be fun to divide them that way.

Look Now was released before the deadline for consideration for last year's Grammies, which is why I think it's strange that it got nominated this year.
