Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra has announced a new album entitled From Out Of Nowhere, which is scheduled to be released on November 1st via Columbia Records. According to a press release, this latest project was composed entitled by Lynne who “plays nearly every note of the music on guitars, bass, piano, drums, keyboards and vibes, as well as singing all of the lead and layered harmony vocals.”
The original ELO was formed in Birmingham, UK by songwriters/multi-instrumentalists Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood, along with drummer Bev Bevan and later keyboardist Richard Tandy. The original group were legendary in the progressive rock scene that emerged in the 1970s, with the band scoring massive hits with tracks such as “Mr. Blue Sky.”
While the band went on hiatus around 2002, Lynne reformed the group with Tandy as Jeff Lynne’s ELO, in response to many of the offshoot ELO bands, and cover bands that appeared during their hiatus. In 2015, the band released its first album as Jeff Lynne’s ELO entitled Alone in The Universe.
The title track for the album as also been released, and according to Lynne, the track inspired the entire album. “From Out of Nowhere – that’s exactly where it came from,” Lynne said in a press statement. “That’s the first one I wrote for this album and it’s kind of like that.”
ELO finished their summer tour earlier this year, which followed up from their first US tour in over 35 years.
