Elvis Costello premieres spoken word B-Side

Elvis Costello has released a politically motivated, spoken word single “Phonographic Memory.”

“Phonographic Memory” imagines a post-war ceremony involving an archive recording of the voice of Orson Welles and someone identified only as, “President Swift”. The recording takes the form of a short story recited over an acoustic guitar.

The new track is being referred to as a B-side to the recently released “We Are All Cowards” single the latter of which will be featured on Costello’s Hey Clockface LP due 30 October on Concord Records.
