Jockstrap share first single of 2022 "Concrete Over Water"

11 April 2022, 12:03 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Jockstrap are back with new single "Concrete Over Water", marking their first outing of 2022.

"Concrete Over Water" is the duo's first new material since last year's "50/50" single, which also arrived with news of their signing to Rough Trade Records, and is accompanied by a video directed by Eddie Whelan and Jockstrap.

Georgia Ellery says of the new track, ""Concrete Over Water" was written on a Summer’s night in 2019 in a flat in Farringdon which was above a pub, and above a train line. The place hummed when the trains went under. The video was born out of the celestial themes in the song. Eddie and I created the characters (Moongirl, Voyager, Magma Boy, etc.) to explore the feelings of wonder, inspiration and the search for answers, to reflect what the song represents to me."

Taylor Skye adds, "I can’t quite remember producing "Concrete Over Water". I was living in my auntie’s attic at the time and it was extremely hot. Georgia sent me the demo fully written, then I sent her the song fully produced. That was it."

They're yet to follow up their 2020 mixtape Beavercore.

Jockstrap's "Concrete Over Water" single is out now on Rough Trade Records. They'll play London's Village Underground on 10 October. Visit jockstrapmusic.com for tickets.
