THE BIG PINK

The Big Pink (Robbie Furze and Milo Cordell ) are British, and as a fan of most things over the pond, this band rocks. They craft a sound with an anthemic, distorted, reverbed quality that I’ve missed from my Shoegaze days. I was introduced to them when a friend showed me the video for their single “Velvet.” I was immediately blown away. The ferocity of the guitars, pulsing drums, and haunting lyrics combined with near-perfect visuals left a deep impression. My words can’t really do them justice so watch, listen, and grab their album A Brief History of Love on September 15. I was lucky enough to get an advance copy and it kills from start to finish. My highest recommendation.

Here are two videos with their corresponding mp3s:
