Pinback have been crafting delicate indie pop since 1998, and they're about to release a compilation of their earliest B-sides, outtakes, and rarities recorded from 1998-2002 in one album, Nautical Antiques (out Sept. 5). The band revealed in a statement they're releasing these songs, some of which they called "live staples to this day," so fans wouldn't have to pay a fortune for the rare cuts. It's unclear if "Concrete Sounds," which was recorded in 2002, is one of those live staples since, as Pinback's Zach Smith told SPIN.com, the original demo version of the track that's featured on Nautical Antqiues seems better suited for a bedroom. "The thing I like about the original track is that it was much slower and done with a drum machine, not live drums," Smith said. "This version is more half-done -- it was never finally mixed."
