Album Review

I Concur – Lucky Jack/Build Around Me

I Concur formed in Leeds at the tail end of 2006 thanks to a shared love of American indie, slowcore and post rock bands such as The National, Low, Wilco and Mogwai which feature high on their list of influences. Opener ‘Lucky Jack’ is a slow builder with crashing percussion and wailing guitars. Think Bloc Party, think Editors, think Interpol and somewhere in the mix you will find “I Concur”. “Build Around Me” also follows in the same vein with a slow beginning kicking into life with the same drum and guitar combo as ’Lucky Jack’. At over 5 minutes long though, it doesn’t really have enough to grab the attention and the vocals aren’t really strong enough to carry the musical crescendo which accompanies it.
