On the latest album WYWH The Concretes present their own distinctive take on the disco oeuvre as they shift the emphasis from guitars to synths. Released this week the album has been picking up outstanding reviews.

“dark disco, deep languid mazzy star grooves” MOJO****

“gorgeously understated disco throb, a band finding its second wind” Q

“beautiful, brooding, classy slo-mo-disco” NME

“80s electro pop meets Fever Ray spookiness…a mix of Nico and Bjork….could slip neatly onto ABBA’s The Visitors” UNCUT****
