Go take a listen to some family members alongside other great talent!
Concrete Moniker is proud as punch to announce our largest and most exciting release yet – Rodrigo Constanzo’s Jew Point Owe. Rod is currently making waves in Manchester’s experimental scene, and this brand new album is a jaw-dropping testament to his innovative talents combined with an ear for truly beautiful music.
The album also breaks new ground for Moniker as our first ever hard-copy release – a strictly limited edition hardback book, each lovingly handmade by the artist containing scores and illustrations.
There are only 40 copies worldwide, exclusively available online via Concrete Moniker. If you want to get your hands on one you better move fast, these will never be available again once they’re sold out! Don’t say we didn’t warn you…
