Introduction

There’s something steady but explosive about London's The Big Pink. The duo has compressed 50 years of loveless and lovelorn rock and roll into a sometimes unsettled but frequently tender circle. They’re a truly modern pop group - seamlessly, the band melds warm melodies to the rhythmic propulsion of rave, the white noise of punk and the glitchy textures of electronica… Their sound is both distant and utterly familiar. They’re the digital Velvet Underground, combining melody and noise in a way that’s more Phil Spector than My Bloody Valentine. Dominos and Velvet were brilliant singles from the debut A Brief History Of Love. On the new album Future This, you’ll find the first single Hit The Ground (Superman) among other sonic gems. The Big Pink aren’t necessarily a “druggy band”, but the effect of what they do is narcotic: it will knock you out, stupefy you, make you feel blissed-out…
