The Concretes
“Swedish day at Pitchfork! Debuting in 1999 with a promising compilation on Up Records, these Stockholm girls' proper debut is a sloppy but satisfying homage to Jesus & Mary Chain and The Pastels.”
Layourbattleaxedown
“On their excellent self-titled 2004 album, the Concretes cloaked the girl-group pop of Phil Spector and Motown in the narcotic haze of the Velvet Underground and the Jesus and Mary Chain, weaving traces of country alongside their warbling horns, ecstatic strings, and droning distortion. Now here's *Layourbattleaxedown*, a surprisingly consistent B-sides and rarities disc. Opener "Forces" tips list”
Hey Trouble
“The Swedish indie pop group's third proper album-- and first without Victoria Bergsman-- greets head-on the group's legacy of Jesus & Mary Chain swirl and sashaying girl-group sweetness.”
The Concretes In Colour
“Swedish band follows its slept-on eponymous record with an album on which its shambling rhythms are tightened and its Velvets-meets-Motown sway seems more Elton-meets-Lilith.”
WYWH (Bonus Track Version)
“Again pressing on without the distinctive presence of former frontwoman Victoria Bergsman, the Concretes return with an LP that arguably need not exist.”
