The Concretes
2005.06.27
I’ve never posted on the Concretes on Noisedfisk, and that’s a shame. Cause they rock. There must be something like 8 girls and boys in this swedish band who sound like Camera Obscura, only more orchestrated (well, that’s only my opinion… and I know some of you don’t like those comparisons… but as far as I’m concerned, I like comparisons. It means: don’t expect any electronic sound in the Concretes music, just P!O!P! guitars and violins and drums and nice vocals…).
They released a great album last year, which is worth buying from your local store, and they will soon release a US exclusive b-sides/rarities compilation, Layourbattleaxedown. All of the songs on this special release have existed as b-sides from the numerous singles released in the U.K., with the exception of three previously unreleased tracks.
So it’s time to discover the Concretes.
