Elbow Elbow have announced that they are to release a B-sides album this September.

The band, who are currently on tour in mainland Europe, are also asking fans for help with the tracklisting.

Frontman Guy Garvey told Muchmusic: "There isn't any pressure or it's stuff that you've worked on really hard that just about hasn't made the album but it's good enough, but perhaps you already have something in a similar vein.

"So we've always thought it was a terrible waste to get stuck on the B-sides of a single and nobody ever hears it. The great for fans to find and things like that but so much of our stuff isn't released abroad we thought it was important to put a compendium together. It's going to be released this September in the UK and hopefully simultaneously worldwide.

"We've been talking to fans who've managed to get a hold of B-sides, saying, which ones would you put on and which ones wouldn't you, and the same names keep coming up. And at the same time, just the ones that we feel that will be a good body of work in its own right. It's really good fun."
