The Concretes - The Concretes (2003)


Starting the last day of 2022 off with an old favorite. Swedish indie pop/rock perfection. A sugar rush of girl group pop songwriting by way of scruffy, early-aughts-style indie rock. Organ riffs, fuzzy guitars, French horn melodies, and sweet, sleepy vocals. New Years is one of those times when I'm happy to be middle-aged, and therefore no longer obligated to spend the night getting too drunk in a packed bar. My wife and I will be ringing in the New Year by making a huge tray of nachos, watching reality TV, and probably being asleep by 10:30 or so, thank you very much.

Track listing:
1. Say Something New
2. You Can't Hurry Love
3. Chico
4. New Friend
5. Diana Ross
6. Warm Night
7. Foreign Country
8. Seems Fine
9. Lovin' Kind
10. Lonely as Can Be
11. This One's for You

  2. Happy New Year and thanks for all your sharing; looking forward to another year of great music. I'm right with you on bringing in the new year like any new day with a little TV and off to sleep by 10:30 whenever possible!
