    Lost Worker Bee makes for a lovely epilogue to this period of the band's existence, incorporating the best of their qualities while also diving into previously unexplored musical landscapes.

    [The EP] follows the lead of last year’s return to form The Take Off and Landing of Everything in its sonic subtlety.

    Themed and crafted from the streets of Manchester, this EP is a wonderful reminder that not only do Elbow still remember them, the blood to their lovelorn souls still flows from that deep well, no matter how high the vine they now have to climb from there.

    Though Elbow is right to take pride in how well they pay tribute to their city, in terms of musicality this is far more interstitial than it is standalone.

    On balance, Lost Worker Bee simply does not do enough to distinguish itself from the rest of Elbow’s oeuvre, and therein lies its greatest failing.
