Their story
The Concrete Choir formed in 2022 when four friends who met in a Brooklyn church basement started jamming gospel organ over MPC breaks after rehearsal. Their 2023 EP 'Basement Sunday' was recorded live to tape in a single weekend, and their 2025 debut album 'Call and Response' put them on the label's radar. They are a rising live act known for call-and-response hooks.
