Courteeners

The Courteeners have announced a big UK tour for October / November in support of their new album 'Concrete Love', released on 18th August.

The album was written and recorded in part in Montmartre by Liam Fray last autumn. The band also worked again with regular collaborator/producer Joe Cross (Hurts/Chloe Howl).

"There are stories, they come from somewhere, but there's a little bit more in this one. They're a little bit less literal," Liam said of the album.

"There are some parts of the record that are a bit more abstract, which is something that I thought I'd give a go. I've always been a fan of that kind of kitchen sink style of writing. I suppose because it's real, it's what people know.There are little pockets of abstract dotted around. So there's a bit more, 'Let people make their mind up', I guess, than the last record."
