Hump Day of hypnotic grooves from Helado Tropical
KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

Elbow's latest album Giants of All Sizesexpresses their feelings of mourning and loss both personal and national. Frontman Guy Garvey describes the record as "having a huge-but-bruised heart." The band stopped by KCRW at the end of their West Coast tour (a tradition they started years ago!) and performed a special set for KCRW that included old classics and new favorites.
