“What happened to The Concretes?” people asked. Not a single new song in three years from a band that had been as reliable as a Swiss watch, releasing a new album every year.

Time passed and even the band started to wonder, “Whatever DID happen to The Concretes?” Well, of course, there was a lots going on. Life, cycling, egg poaching, gardening, travel, children. And other side projects. One member even joined the circus.

And songs began to appear.

“It’s bookended by classics; This is The Concretes back and better than ever.” (87% )” – Filter Magazine

One crystal, Christmas day last year, when everyone was in Stockholm for a drink, they wondered aloud, “Is it time to begin again? Afresh? Refreshed? Can we make an album?” and, after several more, all eight Concretes stood up, raised their glasses and in one voice declared: “YES WE CAN”.

“The Concretes have only gotten better with age.” – Paper Magazine

But what songs would they make? DISCO, someone said. YES, YES. They all agreed. A DISCO ALBUM. And that is what they did. Well, maybe not disco in the old euphoric seventies way, but in a Concretes-way.

“It’s every bit as good as anything they’ve ever put out, sounding like a report from a mostly-happy ghost at an all-night party.” – Prefix Magazine

It’s disco in the crack between a smile and a tear.

Disco dreaming of being elsewhere.

“With their new disco grooves and darker shades, the Swedish octet has stepped into the sunlight.” (7/10) – Pop Matters

With less guitar, more keyboards, more bass, deep languorous vinyl grooves, twitching percussion and some good old cowbell – but still with those trademark melodies – the band is finally back with a new album, a new label, a new focus, a new lease of life, anew. Renewed.

The album is called WYWH and it’s coming out in October, 2010. There are remixes coming from Blackbird Blackbird, Niva and more; a video from Jamie Harley, live dates this winter.

“A sheer, flouncy aura envelopes the album as disco beats charge into the tracks, creating a complex, impressive arrangement…. WYWH is The Concretes’ best album to date.” – Michigan Daily
