about

Pure Concrete is a cracked hymn to the city of Glasgow. An album about love and lust, death and grief. A record that explores the walls we build around ourselves – the societal, the personal, the literal – and tears them down with a torrent of unfiltered honesty.

The songs delve unflinchingly into the truth of modern living. The alienation, the fleeting connections, the unrelenting pressures – all laid bare with elegiac detail. The personal and the universal coalesce. Intimate experiences are recounted and ubiquitous truths emerge. Life is seen from forgotten housing schemes, lonely hotel rooms, empty beaches and anonymous industrial estates.

This project was supported by PRS Foundation's The Open Fund.

'A unique sonic palette, merging contemporary spoken word and post-punk/electro instrumental arrangements, bringing to the surface each artist's individual musicality.' ★★★★ The List

'Pure Concrete is Glasgow in a nutshell; diverse, boozy, unshrinking, occasionally crude, and often hilarious.' ★★★★ The Wee Review
