The Take Off and Landing of Everything is the sixth studio album by British alternative rock band Elbow, released in the UK, Europe and Australia through Fiction Records on 10 March 2014 and in the US on Concord Records on 11 March 2014. Originally recorded with the working title of All at Once and then renamed Carry Her, Carry Me after a line in closing track "The Blanket of Night", the band changed their mind shortly before the album's release and settled on naming the album after one of its tracks, with singer Guy Garvey explaining, "It's to do with the fact that there have been life events. There are five members of the band—people have split up, got together, had children. It never stops, this stuff. Especially round the 40 mark... and yet I wanted to remain celebratory about that. Everybody's feeling relief, with remorse, next to joy, next to loss."
