Did disco ever die? Isn’t it always making a comeback? Well, for Sweden’s The Concretes and their new album, disco may just be their meal ticket. The band’s fourth, and long awaited, album, WYWH, is set to hit U.S. stores November 8. The Concretes are cementing themselves not only with a new disco-inspired sound, but also a new U.S. label (Brooklyn-based Friendly Fire Recordings). Plus this is the first Concretes album to be released in America with Lisa Milberg on lead vocals. Milberg stepped from behind the drum set for 2007’s Hey Trouble (which never saw an official American release) after original vocalist Victoria Bergsman left to focus on her Taken By Trees solo project.

According to a press release, WYWH takes ‘70s disco and reshapes it around The Concretes’ sound. As the press release says: “[It’s] not disco in the old euphoric ‘70s way, but in a Concretes way: dreamy and beautiful, but with a pulsing, hypnotic backbeat that is a new and welcome addition to the band’s signature sound. It’s disco that exists somewhere in the space between smiles and tears. Disco dreaming of being elsewhere.”
