Nothing Concrete – “The imperfectionist”

Nothing Concrete’s new album “The Imperfectionist” is full of character and confidence without ever feeling forced. This is a band that clearly knows who they are and doesn’t try to smooth out the rough edges, and that’s the charm. The standout single, “The Boats”, is a great example, it’s original, unpolished in the best way, and it hits with purpose.

What makes this release engaging is how comfortable it is throwing afrobeat, tango, and blues into the same pot. It doesn’t come across like genre-blending for the sake of it. It’s just how these musicians play, the result is something warm and unpredictable, but it never loses direction.

The vocals are raw and expressive in a way that feels human and lived-in, cutting through the mix with just the right amount of grit. You can tell the band’s been through a few chapters. There’s a kind of seasoned looseness in how the songs move.

Keep an eye on Nothing Concrete by following them on social media, they’ve got more in store for 2025 and you won’t want to miss it.
