Concrete Love is the fourth studio album by British rock band Courteeners, released on 18 August 2014 via Cooperative Music label.

Promoted by two singles, Concrete Love received generally favourable reviews from music critics and reached number three on the UK Albums Chart.

[9][10] AllMusic reviewer Matt Collar said the band "delve even deeper into a layered post-punk sound that finds them adding more guitars and even strings on some cuts".

[12] "Black & Blue" has a punk rock rhythm echoing the sound of their first two studio albums, St. Jude (2008) and Flacon (2010), with Fray's vocals recalling Liam Gallagher of Beady Eye.

[13] Fray felt "Winter Wonderland" was "custom built for live shows"; he wrote it on a piano at Norah Jones' New York City home, and had previously performed in 2011.

[14] On 20 June 2014, Concrete Love was announced for released in two months' time; the album's track listing and artwork was posted online.

[25] Courteeners performed at Heaton Park in Manchester in June 2015, marking the first time that a band in three years[26] All 25,000 tickets sold out in 40 minutes; they were supported by Peace, Bipolar Sunshine and Blossoms.

[32] The band closed out the year with a UK tour, which ended with five consecutive shows O2 Apollo in Manchester, with support from Declan McKenna and Pretty Vicious.

[33][34] "Winter Wonderland" was released as a single on 17 November 2015; the seven-inch vinyl record featured an acoustic version of "Small Bones" as its B-side.

[40] Renowned for Sound contributor Andrew Le said aside from a "few shortcomings, the Courteeners’ new album proves why the band has performed well as a live act, as its guitar riffs and choruses should incite sing-alongs at its concerts".

[11] The Irish Times writer Lauren Murphy felt the band "fails to offer anything beyond their anthemic indie-rock [...] it’s not quite enough to make these perfectly passable songs remarkable in any way".

[13] NME's Barry Nicolson felt that the album's biggest drawback was its "lack of inspiration, perhaps a result of the speedy turnaround between this record and its predecessor".

[43] Concrete Love debuted at number three in the UK Albums Chart, eventually being certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) in 2018.
