Elvis Costello Releases ‘No Flag’ Single

Elvis Costello shared a new single, “No Flag.” The timely tune is the renowned singer-songwriter’s first new original music since his 2018 LP with The Imposters, Look Now.

But for “No Flag” Costello flew solo, the credits are all Elvis: “mouth, drum, Fender Jazzmaster, Hammond organ and bass,” as per a statement. Costello recorded the tune in February at Suomenlinnan Studio near the Finnish capital, Helsinki.

“I wanted to go somewhere nobody knew me,” Costello said in a statement. “So, this is ‘The Helsinki Sound.’”

The press release also heralded, “the next installment of this story on July 10th.” Watch the lyric video for “No Flag” below:
