some stuff about BIG PINK
What The Guardian saidf about them: "The Big Pink may take their name from the Band's debut album but there is nothing rootsy or remotely Dylanesque about this London duo's music. In fact, their roots reach back only as far as the late-80s and early-90s, to the days when Madchester-era baggy disco and Thames Valley shoe-gazing ruled the waves and waived the rules with regard to fusing drone-rock and dance rhythms. There are elements of Spacemen 3 and Spiritualised's trance gospel on their debut single Too Young to Love, of My Bloody Valentine's brief foray into nightclub territory on their Andy Weatherall-remixed epic of noise-dance, Soon, even of Happy Mondays' "religious" rhythmic rock classic, Hallelujah. Some have suggested this might have been a direction that the Stone Roses could have pursued after their debut instead of the bombastic riff-rock of The Second Coming.
There are also darkly choral vocals on their song, She's No Sense, that bring to mind Gregorian chants. The Big Pink's music blurs the boundary between narcosis and nirvana in a way that would make Jason Pierce's veins bulge with delight or make the Jesus & Mary Chain want to score some psychocandy."
What the bbc.co.uk said about them: "This London duo use gritty beats, droning guitars, abstract effects and dreamy vocals to create a soundscape that is arty yet tuneful.
Milo Cordell is son of 1960s pop producer Denny and runs the Merok label, which has released cutting-edge dance acts Klaxons and Crystal Castles. Robbie Furze is a former guitarist with electro-punk singer Alec Empire."
