180g vinyl. Elvis Costello & The Imposters return with The Boy Named If, an album of urgent, immediate songs with bright melodies, stinging guitar solos, and a quick step to the rhythm. Co-produced with Sebastian Krys, the 13 snapshots "...take us from the last days of a bewildered boyhood to that mortifying moment when you are told to stop acting like a child – which for most men (and perhaps a few gals too) can be any time in the next fifty years," as Costello put it. "The full title of this record is ‘The Boy Named If (And Other Children's Stories).' ‘If' is a nickname for your imaginary friend; your secret self, the one who knows everything you deny, the one you blame for the shattered crockery and the hearts you break, even your own."
