The Seldom Seen Kid is the fourth studio album by English rock band Elbow. It was released by Fiction Records on 17 March 2008 in the United Kingdom [1] and was released by Geffen Records on 22 April 2008 in the United States. The album debuted at number five on the UK Albums Chart and won the Mercury Prize in 2008.
The song opens with the line: I've been working on a cocktail, called grounds for divorce. Uncut magazine said it was "surely one of the best opening lines of any pop song in years" [1] and NME compared it to something James Bond might say "this is kind of glorious one-liner he’d mutter before taking the bad guys down and then smooching a lofty Eastern European countess."
"One Day Like This" is the second single from English band Elbow's fourth studio album, The Seldom Seen Kid, released on 2 June 2008 [1] on two 7-inch vinyl records and one CD single. On 21 May 2009, the song won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.
The album was released in March 2008 and sold over 1 million copies. [21] On 9 September 2008, they were awarded the Mercury Music Prize for The Seldom Seen Kid, [22] and in May 2009 the band won two Ivor Novello Awards: "One Day Like This" won the main award for Best Song, and "Grounds for Divorce" was voted Best Contemporary Song.

Four songs were later re-recorded for the deluxe edition of the debut album while a live-version was chosen for the fifth. [2] ... The Seldom Seen Kid
Elbow saw a 700% sales increase of their album The Seldom Seen Kid after winning the Prize in 2008. [14] In their winner's speech, Elbow's frontman Guy Garvey said that winning the Mercury Prize was "quite literally the best thing that has ever happened to us".
It is the follow-up to the highly successful The Seldom Seen Kid; like its predecessor, the album was self-produced by the band in Blueprint Studios, Manchester. The album was nominated for the 2011 Mercury Prize. [3] It was supported by the Build a Rocket Boys! Tour. The first single, "Neat Little Rows", was released on 27 February 2011.
Elbow were themselves Mercury Music Prize nominees, in 2011, for the album Build a Rocket Boys! and won the prize in 2008 for their album "The Seldom Seen Kid". In addition, Garvey made an appearance on Massive Attack's 2010 album record Heligoland. He is a member of the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors (BASCA). [8]
