The Concretes – WYWH
This is organic disco at heart – but a wholly Swedish take on that particular sound. The sum of its influences functions at the level of both tribute and fresh invention. WYWH represents an autumnal maturing: out with innocence, in with experience.
SOTD #155 // ANR: ‘The Endless Field Of Mercury’
The comfort and solace provided by good music can become a sanctuary in the midst of any darkening squall, and as this track picks up in both energy and spirit, the sorrow is forgotten in exchange for the promise of renewal and hope.

A Word To The Wise Guy #2
Stay in a class of your own, ignore the imitators and you can do what the fuck you like. Get paid handsomely and be cooler, fiercer, more beautiful, and more enormous than ever. The gospel of reforming according to David Laurie.
