ELVIS COSTELLO CRAFTS A CHILLING SAGA ON NEW SONG ‘NEWSPAPER PANE’
Rolling Stone: Jon Blistein: October 16th 2020
Elvis Costello has shared a gripping new song, “Newspaper Pane,” from his upcoming album, Hey Clockface, out October 30th via Concord Records.
The song begins with a brooding aura as Costello paints a portrait of a woman holed up in a room where she’s covered the windows with old newspapers, which both keep out the elements and allow her to immerse herself in the details of an unattainable life. Costello proceeds to paint alternately joyful and gutting scenes from this woman’s past as the arrangement grows richer with organ, drums, and horns.
