Elbow frontman Guy Garvey explores the mystery surrounding Talk Talk, their reclusive leader Mark Hollis, and the album that saw him eschew fame and fortune in favour of something radically new.

Recorded over a brutal nine months, Spirit of Eden was a critical and commercial flop at the time – but is now lauded as a masterpiece. Garvey speaks to the musicians who witnessed its troubled birth, the friends who understood Mark best, and the new generation of artists who have taken inspiration from his dogged pursuit of true creative freedom.

Featuring contributions from legendary producers Nigel Godrich and Phil Brown, as well as Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien.
