Video: The Big Pink 'Velvet' (Official Video - 4AD)

We got such a strong reaction to our streaming a song by The Big Pink, we felt it was our obligation to track 'em down and bring them to your desktop.  Milo Cordell and Robbie Furze are the London-based duo responsible for all the uproar.  Milo runs the Merok label which has released records by Klaxons and Crystal Castles, yet makes music that we think far surpasses those highly touted groups.  In February they won the Phillip Hall Radar award at the NME awards show for Best New Act.  Combining great visuals with a brilliant nod to the great post-romantic [...]

Depois da vaga (que não sei se ainda passou) da música dos '80 no século XXI, ultimamente assiste-se à vaga shoegaze nos tempos actuais. Parece que um conjunto de bandas norte-americanas se decidiu reencontrar com o estilo britânico muito em voga nos anos '90, tais como os Crystal Stilts, A Place to Bury Strangers, School of Seven Bells, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, por exemplo.

Love the sonic shoegaze dubbed out brilliance of the Gang Gang Dance remix below, but the skanking sub-bass of the original is equally joyful - wonderful music!

London's The Big Pink may not be the best at choosing band names, but this Massive Attack meets Cocteau Twins jam is absolutely fantastic. It sort of has that 4AD sound to it also; shimmering electronics, metallic drum machines and futuristic synth/guitar waves. As the song moves along more bridges and melodies are revealed giving the song wings. The Big Pink: "Velvet" - Directed by Rob Hawkins: Get the Gang Gang Dance remix of "Velvet" [...]

[ photo ] London's The Big Pink is giving away this new remix, in which Gang Gang Dance re-works the group's already massive/cinematic new single " Velvet ," turning the song into something like Animal Collective meets a John Hughes flick meets Cocteau Twins. Until about halfway through, anyway; then it's straight GGD the rest of the way. mp3: the big pink :: velvet (gang gang dance remix) ************** The Big Pink's [...]

Ahead of their debut Dublin date this Saturday in Crawdaddy, a placing in the BBC Sound of 2009 poll and a deal with 4AD, The Big Pink's Robbie Furze and Milo Cordell are ready to dish out their mix of soaring electronics and droning shoegazing guitars to the public. State taled to Milo about Merok, the influential indie "punk" label he runs, industrial music, shoegazing, Robert Smith, Mary J. Blige and phallic monikers. You started out doing aggressive industrial music, how different was that to now? It shares a [...]

Jesus & Mary Chain rencontre la scène rave. Le duo londonien The Big Pink, composé de Milo Cordel et Robbie Furze n'est pas né de la dernière pluie : Furze est guitariste de Alec Empire tandis que Cordel (fils d'un producteur des 60's) dirige le label Merok Rec. , et son oreille est plutôt fine : les Klaxons, les Crystal Castles, les Teenagers ou encore Metronomy ont émergé sous Merok. Mais attention : point d'electro clash du côté de The Big Pink, on pense plutôt aux 90's, à la sortie d'une rave dans une atmosphère vaporeuse. L'electro est [...]
