After a few years' hiatus, Hey Elbow are back. In March 2026, the Malmö-based trio released their fourth album, FLOCK, with a live premiere at Intonal.

Formed in 2013, Hey Elbow creates a distinctive sound that balances melodic composition with open improvisation, giving each instrument equal space to move between foreground and background.

Originally developed as a performance with dancers and a scenographer, FLOCK explores the tension between individuality and the collective. In the studio, the project continued to evolve as invited musicians improvised around the band's original material, making each new collaboration an integral part of the album's constantly shifting form.
