Abstract Concrete
Abstract Concrete
Charles Hayward, co-founder of This Heat and Camberwell Now formed the band Abstract Concrete in 2019.
The band features Agathe Max (Mésange, UKAEA) on viola, Otto Willberg (Yes Indeed, Historically Fucked) on bass, Roberto Sassi (Snorkel, Cardosanto) on guitar, Yoni Silver (Hyperion Ensemble, Steve Noble) on keyboards and Charles himself on drums and vocals.
Abstract Concrete follows a continuum of such melodic art school innovators as The Kinks, Brian Eno, Robert Wyatt and Penguin Cafe Orchestra, as well as Hayward’s own experimental post punk past, all the while nodding to a childhood spent listening to folk and pop.
For this release with The state51 Conspiracy, we designed a Limited edition Concrete LP.
Limited to just 50 editions, each record was encased in concrete, and must be broken to be heard. The package includes a lyric booklet printed on tracing and a CD fpr those who wish to preserve the concrete slab.
