Download: Le Concorde, 'Cherry Blossom Shadows'

Dec 20, 2010, 6:44pm Buzz Bands
Download: Le Concorde, 'Cherry Blossom Shadows' [This will be my final downloads installment of the year. Judging from my backlog of e-mail and mp3s, I'm about 200 posts short of sharing with you all the new stuff that I'd like to. Sigh ... Later this week, a year-end roundup.] The indelible synth-pop of Stephen Becker — d/b/a Le Concorde — was honed by his 15 years in the Midwest, but it took on a whole new shine after he relocated to Los Angeles and released his fourth album "House." It's [...]

MP3 At 3PM: Le Concorde

Oct 29, 2010, 3:00pm MAGNET
Maybe Stephen Becker is who Ween had in mind when they wrote "Dr. Rock." The Le Concorde main man has a Ph.D. in architectural theory, and his brand of '80s-influenced synth pop can definitely be described as brainy. This week, Le Concorde released third album House (Le Grand Magistery), which features Becker collaborating with Scritti [...]

If it's Saturday, this must be Le Concorde

Oct 23, 2010, 8:35am Quick Before It Melts
If it's Saturday, this must be Le Concorde Four months into writing QBiM I posted about Le Concorde , a project from one Stephen Brecker in perhaps one of the daftest posts in our history or one of it's most creative (I'll let you decide after reading it here ). That was way back in 2006, and now four years later, Le Concorde is back with a new record (although to be honest I don't actually know if there's been others in the interim) of nostalgic, dreamy indie pop that hearkens back to the simpler days of the 80s. House [...]

Ready to Pop: Le Concorde "Who's Gonna Feel Sorry For Us"

Sep 29, 2010, 12:49pm arjanwrites music blog
Ready to Pop: Le Concorde "Who's Gonna Feel Sorry For Us" Le Concorde is the brainchild of California singer/songwriter Stephen Becker who left his hometown of Chicago a few years ago for the sun-bleached shores of the West Coast to record his new album.p Titled "House," the record is filled with infectious synth melodies, catchy choruses and shimmering, lo-fi soundscapes that show off Becker's knack for writing timeless pop that shines in simplicity.p Becker likes to describe the album as "brainy, yet accessible."pHis idea was to challenge listeners through his storytelling, to look through the glittery mirror ball and see what's on the other side.

Album Review: Le Concorde – House

Sep 16, 2010, 9:58am Boom Boom Chik
Album Review: Le Concorde – House The story of Le Concorde goes something like this. Multi-instrumentalist, Stephen Becker, left his beloved Chicago for the west coast waves, a decision that had a direct impact on his forthcoming LP, House . After self-releasing an EP in 2004, Le Concorde soon became a steady rotation on XM Radio's XMU and was rapidly picked up by NYC's March Records. This led to Villa , an LP released in 2005, followed by Suite in 2007. With his latest dwelling, House , Mr. Becker decided to move away from his lo-fi [...]

I've just spent seven hours poring over the list and compiled my own list of the 286 artists I liked best. Some of them don't really fit here, but I've got a hunch you're going

Le Concorde: Poor Man's Phoenix?

Dec 2, 2007, 11:12pm Butter Team
Butter Team - Above The Influence
Not even sure what that means since we love both bands, but with Le Concorde's release of Suite last month at least the initial comparisons to Phoenix are warranted. Get a few listens in and you'll find plenty of differences but a shared appreciation for the earnest pop harmonies available only to those with the courage to croon. And like a dumbass I thought Le Concorde's multi-instrumentalist Stephen Becker, Ph.D was a fellow Frenchman (also once told Kevin Barnes "for some reason I thought Of Montreal were Canadian"). But Le Concorde rock the harmonica [...]
