The Big Pink are Londoners Robbie Furze and Milo Cordell, two lifelong friends whose home studio experiments have bore some of the most inspiring British music of 2008. This is their debut single.
Entirely characteristic of The Big Pink’s unique furrow, the hope-filled darkness of Too Young To Love points to both the digital hardcore and art-rock undergrounds, while Robbie’s trademark soaring vocal melodies and densely encompassing reverberation complete their entrancing formula.
The stately drone and overdriven trebly crescendo of Crystal Visions nods to such sonic reference points as the shoe-gaze of My Bloody Valentine and brooding minimalism of Earth, but the track’s chiming chorus and tender melodic nuance allow it a fragile beauty of its very own.
While all song writing and creative control remains in Milo and Robbie’s able hands, The Big Pink’s rapidly growing reputation as an essential live act has been ensured by the onstage collaboration of periphery members such as Daniel O’Sullivan from Guapo and Sunn0))), electronic artiste Jo Apps from the Planet Mu label, drummer Akiko Matsuura of Pre and Comanechi, and Al O’Connell producer/engineer for the likes of The Rapture and Klaxons
This sublime pair of tracks will only be available as a deluxe seven inch limited to 1000 copies. It will be the first release by London based vinyl only independent label House Anxiety.
