Courteeners have today released their music video for new track 'How Good It Was', lifted from their forthcoming studio album 'Concrete Love'.
Following the success of taster track 'Summer', lead singer and songwriter Liam Fray explains that we're now hearing exactly what the new record is all about.
"With Summer we were just teasing. This is the real deal. I had the same feeling with ‘How Good It Was’ that I had with ‘Are You In Love With A Notion. As soon as I'd written it, it just felt right. It was a perfect fit straight away. Like an APC bomber jacket. We were honoured to have members of the BBC Philharmonic and Halle orchestras play on it too, which was incredible. The other three songs were really difficult to leave off the album in all honesty. They could've easily nestled in amongst the others on ‘Concrete Love’. ‘Why Are You Still With Him?’ was written in New York a few years ago about a good friend of mine. I'm happy to be able to finally give it a good home."
Coming off the back of three massive UK top ten albums, the LP sees the band working once more with regular producer and collaborator Joe Cross.
Courteeners will headline the Radio 1/NME Stage this year at Reading and Leeds festival, also appearing as The Killers' special guests on August 19 at Glasgow's Bellahouston Park.
The group's biggest ever UK tour will be announced later this year.
