w/ A Place to Bury Strangers
The Big Pink is composed of Robbie Furzo and Milo Cordell. Both had worked on a music label called Hate Channel and Milo had his own record label called Merok Records. Merok had released some songs that would fit in the "noise rock" genre which you can hear in some of the songs on the Big Pink's debut album, A Brief History of Love. When interviewed, Robbie and Milo said that the entire album was made up of love songs. But love isn't always something that is easy, light and jubilant. Sometimes it's rough and dark, full of longing and misunderstandings. I like this concept and even more so, I like how The Big Pink was able to create this album where the songs all sound different and unique while expressing these different phases of love.
The Big Pink are originally from Britian. Thinking of electro dance bands from the U.K., Hot Chip may come to mind. But I'd more put their style to 80's dark electro, a beat that is a little harder and rough added with a great lead male crooning voice. Guitar distortions, voice distortions and some slightly industrial sounding music all play apart in this album.
