.ElvisCostello discusses how 'Hey Clockface' came together, what more fans can expect and the importance of ownership.

This February, after recording three songs by himself in Helsinki, he immediately traveled to Paris to record a dozen more with a small ensemble of musicians who “came recommended as people who liked adventure,” says Costello, 66. The result is, out Oct. 30 on Concord, with songs that alternate between withering and whimsical. “It’s much closer to the approach of a jazz ensemble,” says Costello, “playing like that without scoring every note.

The album has a wide range of moods: “We’re All Cowards Now” sounds angry, and very timely, while “Hey Clockface” is a bit more upbeat. Streaming hasn’t changed the way I write songs, but there’s a sequence of songs that I have carefully assembled — and I have to accept that no one will ever hear it like that, unless they’re of a certain generation.

I can’t be certain when I’ll set foot on the stage again; or, frankly, whether the audience that largely comes to see me — who are inevitably more of my generation — will ever want to come to a theater again. So in the interim, I want to take the music I recorded some time ago and present it in a way that’s as exciting as it was when we first released it.
