Soundtrack for a Book by Concave Scream
May 21st, 2009 YandaOne of the longest-playing acts on the local music scene, Concave Scream has been in continuous existence since 1994, despite band members who have come and gone. The genesis of this well-regarded veteran outfit can
be traced back to one fateful December day that year, when Sean and Pann – the two founders who had known each other since junior college – decided to kick off a musical collaboration.
Despite initial genre differences, the two found common ground in the pre-/Rattle and Hum/ sounds of U2, as well as the trend-setting punk rock of New Model Army. These musicians remain a constant source of inspiration for both of them.
The duo set out to record a self-financed six-track demo cassette, /Scarred,/ and shortly after, an 11-track self-titled CD was released. The results were encouraging, with critics immediately acknowledging the distinctive and heartfelt musical style of Concave Scream.
Now back to perform at Esplanade again, the 15 year-old band will showcase its fifth and most adventurous project to date: an album entitled /Soundtrack for a Book/. It is the band’s first fully instrumental offering of 43 minutes of music without vocals.
The album will be launched at:
