You remember Zee Avi, right? The Malaysian doll responsible for "Swell Window" back in 2011? No? Where the hell have you been, then? Oh, you've been the same place I've been hiding all weekend? Well, played, my friend. Well, played. In that case, you're forgiven for letting Miss Avi slip your mind. Just promise me you'll change your ways, okay? "Concrete Wall" is in the vein of "Swell Window," but there's something different about this one.
"Concrete Wall" isn't the sweet folk that first drew me to Zee Avi. It's still a little folky, but something far from sweet. Nearly a cappella, Zee sings slowly over the continuing chant of she clack clack boom. How else do you get through a concrete wall? Though this is definitely subdued, it's undoubtedly powerful music. Let is sink in with a few listens, and you'll get it.
