Courteeners have announced the release of a brand new EP, ‘How Good It Was’.
The title track is taken from their upcoming fourth album, ‘Concrete Love’, due on August 18 via PIAS. Following their taster track Summer, the EP, available now on iTunes, features all brand new tracks, How Good It Was, Hometown One, Sunflower and Why Are You Still With Him?, which aside from How Good It Was, will not feature on the new album.
Lead singer, Liam Fray comments:
"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."
As previously announced, Courteeners headline the Radio 1/NME stage at this year’s Reading and Leeds Festival and will also appear as special guests to the Killers at Glasgow’s Bellahouston Park on August 19.
