Deep inside the elbow of Ragnar Agnarsson furniture painter, the people of Elbowville lived and worked for as long as anyone can remember. The story focuses on three brothers, their love interests and life struggles. One of them, Peter, shoots to fame and fortune as the creator of a "prosperity machine". The prosperity machine indeed creates riches for the Elbowvillians, but can the good times last and at what cost? At the top of the town's hierarchy, the pragmatic (and possibly slightly evil) Mayor Manuela stands tall and strong – pulling the strings as hard as she can.

Reviews


  • The deep production and alternation between elegiac grace, alternative pop current, and Bacharach hints makes this 18-song suite soar—where most concept albums just plod, overstuffed and overwrought with bombast in the quest for great gestures. Revolution is just grand. New Yorkers can see a theater production of this in Greenwich Village this August, too. Consider me RSVPed.

    ----Jack Rabid, The Big Takeover
  • I would describe it as a David Bowie-Radiohead fusion, which we all know means it’s fantastic… This album is definitely worth listening if you’re into the whole “being a musical genius” thing. The story it tells is worth listening to and the talent displayed throughout it should make us American musicians cringe. Ivar Pall Jonsson composed a musical gem with this album and I hope it receives the recognition it deserves.
