The Courteeners will be releasing their fourth album Concrete Love on Monday August 18 via [PIAS] Cooperative. Written and recorded in part in Montmartre by singer/songwriter Liam Fray last autumn, Concrete Love is the band’s most rounded and satisfying record to date. The album sees the band working again with regular collaborator/producer Joe Cross (Hurts/Chloe Howl).
In 2013, Courteeners quickly sold over 100,000 gig tickets outside of festival appearances in the UK – including Brixton Academy and Manchester Arena. This August, the band will play as special guests of The Killers at Bellahouston Park in Glasgow before headlining the NME stage at Reading and Leeds Festivals. They will then tour the UK extensively in the autumn.
Concrete Love is available for pre-order now with iTunes pre-orders immediately recieving the exclusive album track 'Summer'. Deluxe editions of the album come with either a DVD (physical copies) or download (i-tunes) recording of the band’s momentous Castlefield Bowl gigs in July 2013.
