Elvis Costello & The Imposters – Look Now
Look Now is available from the Mr. Hansen Records collection with Near Mint vinyl and a Near Mint sleeve. This deluxe 2LP edition is pressed on 180g vinyl and offers a clean, detailed listening experience with excellent presentation. Released on Concord Records with catalogue number 00888072068254.
Originally released in 2018, Look Now marked a remarkable return to richly arranged, sophisticated songwriting from Elvis Costello & The Imposters. The album blends elegant pop, soul, chamber pop and classic singer-songwriter craftsmanship, showing Costello in reflective, melodic and highly expressive form.
Backed by The Imposters, Costello creates a record that feels both modern and deeply connected to the tradition of classic songwriting. The arrangements are carefully layered, with warm keyboards, sharp rhythmic playing and a refined studio sound that gives the songs room to breathe. There is a strong sense of maturity throughout the album — not nostalgia, but experience, detail and emotional depth.
Look Now also reflects Costello’s long-standing admiration for great pop composition. Several songs carry the influence of his work with Burt Bacharach, while the album as a whole sits comfortably beside Costello’s more elegant and orchestrated recordings. It is witty, graceful, bittersweet and beautifully performed.
For collectors, this deluxe 2LP 180g edition is an especially attractive pressing. It presents one of Costello’s strongest later-period albums in a format that suits the music’s detail and atmosphere. Look Now is highly recommended for fans of Elvis Costello’s more sophisticated pop side, as well as listeners who enjoy intelligent songwriting, rich arrangements and beautifully crafted modern vinyl editions.
