Little Fictions is the seventh studio album by British band Elbow, released on February 3, 2017. The album is marked by the band’s signature blend of expansive, orchestral rock with introspective, emotionally resonant lyrics, but it also sees them experimenting with new sounds and textures, making it both familiar and fresh for fans.

Little Fictions carries an optimistic, uplifting tone, diverging from the melancholy of previous releases like The Take Off and Landing of Everything. The album reflects themes of love, renewal, and resilience, influenced in part by lead singer Guy Garvey's recent marriage. Musically, Elbow expands on their usual style by incorporating electronic beats, layered harmonies, and a broader use of percussion, lending many tracks a rhythmic, almost hypnotic quality.

This album was also the first without longtime drummer Richard Jupp, pushing the band into new territories as they experimented with drum machines and unconventional percussion, which contributed to a more groove-oriented sound.Little Fictions was widely praised for its hopeful tone, lush arrangements, and lyrical depth. Critics noted that it was one of Elbow's more accessible albums, with a broader sonic palette that helped them evolve their sound while retaining their core emotional intensity. The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, cementing Elbow's status as one of Britain's most beloved bands.
