Yes. The prefix "The" grants instant credibility, no?

I hope the name does not deter or prematurely influence folks who are about to listen to these The neophytes.
Who are they? The Concretes are another Scandanavian export (Architecture in Helsinki!!! but they're not really Scandanavian) with a plethora of members, and the vocalist's pedigree provides their heritage flavour (with some subtle range changes that are similar to the hopelandic cries of their island brother Sigur Ros). But, just as Iceland is different from the collective countries of Scandanavia in geographic and cultural character, The Concretes are far from Sigurian ambient post-rock. They classify more as an upbeat post-modern pop band that embraces a wide range of presentation media. Avant-garde, a different kind of ordinary, and FUN are words that come to mind as descriptors.
Enough talk though. I hand the band to you for judgement and listening enjoyment. The Concretes home page has plenty of material downloads to investigate their current stylings (new record out soon)...

So what do you think... are The Concretes a SOLID band?
