The Courteeners are further previewing their forthcoming ‘Concrete Love‘ album with the EP ‘How Good It Was‘.
The four-track EP follows the unveiling of ‘Summer‘ earlier this month, and contains ‘Hometown One‘, ‘Sunflower‘ and ‘Why Are You Still With Him?‘ as well as the title-track which will be included on the band’s fourth album when it is released in August.
“With ‘Summer’ we were just teasing,” frontman Liam Fray has said. “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.”
The EP is available on iTunes now.
