    Love it. Tell me "Lonely As Can Be" is not absolutely amazing. Just tell me. I'll smack you upside the head if you do, tho.

    Drenched in moodmud, this band is perfect for highrise living and slum city kitchen table painting. Victoria Bergsman's vocals are lamentous tones, like lifting open the windows to welcome the grey sunrays of Fall in. Their first album, Boy You Better Run Now, is good music to geek across the living room floor to. Paris Parks

    Pure bliss. This is the best pop album of the year.

    Definitely mysterious, but the songs on this record are obvious when it comes to the Concretes’ influences.

    Music that’s easier to admire than love.

    A decidedly schizophrenic experience, if a frequently beautiful and, at the very least, relentlessly promising one.
