Le Concorde is the brainchild of LA-based songwriter, Stephen Becker. Originally born of 80’s UK influences now known by the nouveau genre-moniker, “sophisti-pop”, Le Concorde reintroduced this high style to the world of indie-pop music in the mid-00s, pulling in personnel from Scritti Politti and The Psychedelic Furs for a series of releases on iconic indie-pop labels, March Records and Le Grand Magistery.

The first single “Corpus Christi” (from the forthcoming album, “Second Mansions”) is a song of miraculous signs, geographical entanglements, and the future patron saint of the internet. “Corpus Christi” features an ensemble of legendary personnel including: Scottish producer Calum Malcolm (The Blue Nile, Prefab Sprout), keyboardist Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. (Jellyfish, Beck), drummer Ash Soan (Seal, Trevor Horn), bassist Vinzenz Benjamin (ABC, Paul Young), and vocalist Doris Brendel.

The second single “Saint James” (from the forthcoming album, “Second Mansions”) also with Calum Malcolm at the helm and Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. crafting the keyboards with Becker switches rhythm sections for the Scottish powerhouse due of bassist Lewis Gordon (Deacon Blue) and drummer Ross McFarlane (Texas, The Proclaimers) and adds on backing vocals the signature harmony blend of The Posies (Jon Auer & Ken Stringfellow) 

The forthcoming full album, “Second Mansions”, from which these singles are taken, expands the exquisite cast of personnel to include titans such as:

• Pino Palladino
• Paul Jackson, Jr.
• Jamie West-Oram
• Roger Joseph Manning, Jr.
• Howard Gray
• Jon Auer
• Ken Stringfellow
• Eric Troyer
• Brendan Power
• Ross Garren
• Lewis Gordon
• Ross McFarlane
• Liam Bradley
• Cameron Lister
• and many more…
