The Big Pink - A Brief History Of Love


The Big Pink already have a lot of hype residing around their upcoming debut 'A Brief History Of Love' and it's no surprise, the duo Robbie Furze and Milo Cordell have been creating a stir in the industry for quite some time.
Cordell runs the label Merok which is responsible for launching Klaxons and Crystal Castles among others and Furze has played for people such as Industrial legend Alec Empire and Panic DHH.
This is most certainly not the only reason why the duo have received so much press of late, 'A Brief History Of Love' is a really great album full of synth laden, atmospheric, droney classics that all are aimed to give off a personable message of Love. Songs such as opener 'Crystal Visions' and 'At War With The Sun' optimise what the Big Pink are all about, 'Armageddon Love Songs.'
Their sound feels like it couldn't have come from anywhere else but London right now, it is certainly an album that fits 2009 very well with their knack for making intense, droney dance tunes sound totally accessible.
There are a few stand out track, 'Dominos' and Velvet' both of which I have had in my head for ages.
