Mercury Prize-winning band Elbow are to make an album of music for children, with an animated film to accompany it also planned.
Speaking to Billboard.com, Elbow singer Guy Garvey said: "We initially thought that it would be great to make music for children because the lads in the band have got kids and they were saying how little really decent music for children there is. The more that we thought about it, the more that we liked the idea."
He continued: "The first thing to do is find the story and that's great fun to research. I want to do something that really fires kids' imaginations. I think you can go somewhere in writing for children that you can't do with adults."
