Elvis Costello's career leading back to the Attractions


Mark Brown / Orange County Register

Don't think of Brutal Youth, Elvis Costello said, as a reunion with the Attractions. He certainly doesn't.

"We brought in people because we thought they'd do a good job with the songs. It just seemed the right thing to do," he said of his new album, due out Tuesday. "I just sort of gathered them gradually, which is why I don't even think of it as a reunion."

Call it what you will, longtime fans of the British singer/songwriter/musician — who many critics say is equaled only by Bob Dylan — will be thrilled with Brutal Youth. After the classical The Juliet Letters, recorded with the Brodsky Quartet, and the dense Mighty Like a Rose, Costello has returned to the stripped-down sound he and the Attractions used when he smashed the barriers between punk, pop and rock on classic albums such as Trust and Armed Forces.

Like fans of Neil Young, Costello devotees are frustrated with his career at times. He can effortlessly toss off pop/rock classics such as "Alison," "Beyond Belief" or the new songs "This Is Hell" and "London's Brilliant Parade," but he chooses to spend years exploring other less-familiar terrain.

"I've heard a bit of this kind of talk before," he said. "Those people either have a more traditional or conservative view of what I do. They don't like me to deviate too much from that image.
