Today's Quick Mention: If you happen to not have any plans for
tonight then I strongly recommend that you make the effort to get out and
join me at the Parish for Stellastarr*, Wild Light and Experimental
Aircraft. It'll be way fun. And stuff. See you there?
Believe it or not, I was actually a little excited for the weekend to come
to an end so that I could get your week started right with a duo from the UK
who call themselves The Big Pink. From what I gather they've been
getting all sorts of buzz as of late, and their debut, A Brief History Of
Love, is expected to be a real gem. It's out September 15 on 4AD.
Enjoy.
:The
Big Pink - Dominos:
A lot of people seemed to be stuck on the moody, 80s-esque
ways of a track called Velvet (you can check it out
in video form below), but I think I actually prefer the
expansive, beat-driven pop that is this summer anthem.
Although, I will admit that I'm hoping that the duo's debut
is full of tracks that feature not just those two particular
approaches, but a few other snazzy ones as well.
Variety is nice.
