Elvis Costello is an English musician, singer-songwriter, and record producer. He was born on August 25, 1954 in London, England. In the early years of his career, he gained recognition as part of the group Elvis Costello & The Attractions. However, in 1996, the band recorded their last album and underwent some lineup changes. They reformed in 2002 with a new bassist and adopted a new name: The Imposters.
Throughout his career, Elvis Costello has been known for his diverse musical style and thought-provoking lyrics. His talent has earned him critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base. In addition to his music career, he is also recognized for his marriage to Diana Krall since 2003.
To learn more about other bands or aliases associated with Elvis Costello (such as The Imposters or Confederates), you can explore Declan Patrick Aloysius MacManus' profile.

For his second album, Elvis Costello fine-tuned his aesthetic by abandoning the California studio cat accompanists of his debut for the more aggressive, quirky and very British Attractions, who would define Costello's sound over the next several years. Where My Aim is True highlighted Costello's rootsy influences (the Band, etc.), This Years Model wholeheartedly embraces the 'new wave' out-with-the-old mindset, favouring tightly wound ferocity over back-porch-isms. Irresistibly catchy, in a twitchy, neurotic, white-knuckled way, This Years Model is Costello at his edgiest.
