Momofuku

Elvis Costello and the Imposters

Elvis Costello usually doesn't just throw records out there. Momofuku, which takes its name from the inventor of instant noodles, is different. It's effortfully tossed off; it's a middling record battling against his built-in high standards. For a record bashed out in a week, Momofuku is not bare-bones. It has up to four backup singers and nine musicians at any given time, and sometimes a bit of space noise and backward effects in the guitars — the kind of thing done by indie-rockers with time on their hands. But Costello allows imperfection with a small and squalid electric-guitar tone, his voice cracking and occasionally turning flat.
