Also if you pre-order this single you will receive a free remix of Lucky Jack by Bracken.early reviews in so far:The Cuckoo Press"Shades of Joy Division, MBV, GY!BE, and instrumental early Electrelane sweep and build in Lucky Jack, which goes beyond typical post-rock offerings with a clever 'math-sy' breakdown a-la Leeds counterparts O Fracas, and melancholic vocals straight down the shoegaze line.Build Around Me has the atmospherics and well formedness of an Interpol hit, yet with lyrics focussed on the Moors. The shape of the song is a bleak and made of damp heather. To use Interpol as a reference seems an almost slight, given the technical skill of the multiple guitar lines, yet the restrained and almost subtle nature of this oddly massive sound is something that can only be praised at the highest level. The crafting of this song is immense." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brew Records Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Here's some lovely press so far:"To use Interpol as a reference seems an almost slight, given the technical skill of the multiple guitar lines, yet the restrained and almost subtle nature of this oddly massive sound is something that can only be praised at the highest level. The crafting is immense." The Cuckoo Press "This is musical storytelling on a par with iLiKETRAiNS, but rather than merely providing a snapshot it tells the whole tale. With last year's EP I Concur raised more than a few eyebrows, and with this release they look set to do so again." Sandman "Rising Leeds band I Concur keep the flag flying for new, leftfield music and create a mellow, menacing sense of excitement with their sweeping floods of enigmatic guitar work highbrow lo-fi anyone?" Manchester Music "Suitably moving mixture of ethereal guitars and slow building rhythms, all circling that haunting melody" Subba-Cultcha "Single of the Month" "Citing God Speed! You Black Emperor, as well as Jonny Greenwood and Thom Yorke as influences probably explains why those guitars are straining at the bit to want to reach out into those far away undiscovered sound spaces - all moody and brooding."

" Organ Magazine"Shades of Joy Division, MBV, GY!BE, and instrumental early Electrelane sweep and build in Lucky Jack, which goes beyond typical post-rock offerings with a clever 'math-sy' breakdown a-la Leeds counterparts O Fracas, and melancholic vocals straight down the shoegaze line." The Cuckoo Press"I Concur create a mellow, menacing sense of excitement with their sweeping floods of enigmatic guitar work highbrow lo-fi anyone ?" Manchester Music"I CONCUR have hit something here that really rings clear and true. I keep hearing them on the radio and find that, for once, my own taste is in good company: other people, it seems, like them as much as I do. Their soundscapes plunder guitarish Americana, epic Norse shimmers and English odd-ball songwriting, mashing them all as their own distinctive brew." 8/10 Whisperin & HollerinThe band are also recording a session for BBC Radio 1 at the end of the month at Maida Vale studios.
