443 Elvis Costello and the Attractions - Armed Forces
from 1001 Album Club · host Birch
In January of 1979 Elvis Costello released his 3rd studio album. With Nick Lowe back at the helm, the album marks an end point to Costello’s “angry persona” and is as lyrically dark as he ever got, with many a fascist imagery and heartbreak weaving their way through an album absolutely sticky sweet with pop goodness. Let’s talk Elvis Costello, Armed Forces!
