I concur are from around these parts (Leeds) and 'Sobotka' is the first single of new record 'Able Archer' out later in the year. It was recorded with James Kenosha, Leeds super producer for the likes of This Et El, Dinosaur Pile-up, Pulled Apart by Horses etc. 'Sobokta' is a big tune in the vein of Editors and such. It's got a tub thumping drum sound, aggressive guitar interplay and a dramatic vocal delivery. It's also about a character in the popular HBO series The Wire but i couldn't tell you much about that because i keep missing the show. It's on a some weird time like 10:45 p.m on a thursday so i always miss the first fifteen minutes and end up sacking it off. I'll have to get the box set and get clued up like these dudes. B-side 'Iterate This (extended)' is like a badass jam you have at the end of practice that you desperately try and keep in your head for the next time only for it to drift aimlessly from your fragile musical mind.

I Concur formed in Leeds in 2006 thanks to a shared love of American indie, slowcore and post rock. Creating a set of songs based on guitarist Tim Hann's abstract style of story telling, two singles and an EP have given I Concur positive reviews from the NME, plays on Radio 1, and a livesession for Huw Stephens' In New Music We Trust show in April '08. Last summer the band played a high profile slot at their hometown Live At Leeds festival, and were then asked by Huw Stephens and Steve Lamacq to play the BBC Introducing stage at both Reading and Leeds Festivals '08. 'Sobotka' is taken from their debut album 'Able Archer', recorded in the spring of 2009 with James Kenosha (Grammatics, This Et Al, Duels), and tells the story of the ill-fated stevedores from popular HBO series 'The Wire'.
