Monday Song: Elbow – Grounds for Divorce

Elbow are work ethic. They’ve never released a poor album, never settled for good enough, and ‘Grounds for Divorce,’ the decidedly standout track from this year’s The Seldom Seen Kid, is sonic proof of their enviable steadfastness. Salutations to the guys with a low profile and a huge …
