Elvis Costello Shuns CDs For New Album

Elvis Costello’s latest album will only be available on digital and vinyl formats when it’s released next month.

The veteran singer-songwriter is eschewing a CD release for ‘Momofuku’, a name which is rumoured to refer to a uber-cool restaurant in New York, where Costello currently resides.

Whatever Elvis’ eating preferences, the album is rolled out on April 22, with the vinyl package including a digital download code, so you don't have to carry cumbersome record players around with you.

Costello himself rolls out for several solo dates in the US next month before joining The Police’s tour of North America in May.
