Our Take

UNIT 4 + 2 may sound like a name plucked straight out of a math textbook, but don't let their numerical moniker fool you. Their album "Concrete & Clay" is anything but formulaic.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a groovy time where the sun is shining, and the harmonies are as sweet as a cup of English breakfast tea. The title track, "Concrete & Clay," is an infectious foot-tapper that will have even the most stoic listener bopping along in no time.

But UNIT 4 + 2 are more than just a one-hit wonder. Tracks like "I Will" showcase their knack for crafting catchy melodies with a touch of melancholy, while "Sorrow and Pain" dives deeper into the complexities of love and loss.

With its jangly guitars, lush orchestration, and tight vocal harmonies, "Concrete & Clay" feels like a lost gem from the swinging sixties. It's a testament to UNIT 4 + 2's timeless sound and undeniable charm. So grab your go-go boots, pour yourself a stiff drink, and let the music take you on a trip down memory lane. Trust us, you won't regret it.

Verdict: 8.5/10

About the artist

Unit 4 + 2

Unit 4 + 2: The UK's Answer to the British Invasion Hailing from Hertfordshire, England, Unit 4 + 2 burst onto the music scene in the early 1960s with their infectious blend of pop, rock, and folk. With their catchy tunes, tight harmonies, and sharp suits, this five-piece band quickly became darlings of the swinging London scene. Led by the dynamic duo of Brian Parker and Tommy Moeller, Unit 4 + 2 were known for their unique sound, which combined elements of Merseybeat, British Invasion, and even a touch of early psychedelia. Their biggest hit, "Concrete and Clay," shot up the charts in 1965, cementing their place in pop music history. But Unit 4 + 2 were more than just a one-hit wonder. With a string of singles and albums under their belt, they proved themselves to be a versatile and talented group of musicians. From upbeat rockers to heartfelt ballads, they could do it all with style and panache. Despite their success, Unit 4 + 2 never quite achieved the same level of fame as some of their contemporaries. But that's all part of their charm. They were a band that operated in the shadows, quietly making great music without all the fanfare and hype. Unit 4 + 2 may not be a household name, but their music has stood the test of time. So if you're looking for some catchy tunes with a vintage vibe, look no further than this underrated gem of the British music scene. The swinging 60s may be long gone, but Unit 4 + 2's music lives on, ready to transport you back to a more innocent, groovy time.
