Description
The Big Pink’s new album, "Future This," is released today. Named after a skateboard company’s slogan from the 80s, it’s an apt title.Recorded over the summer of 2011, with ideas flowing, they worked with producer Paul Epworth (Adele, Florence & The Machine, Friendly Fires) to help them match their high ambitions. The end result is a perfect realisation of the band’s initial intentions to marry their more outre influences with a pop sensibility. The 10 tracks add more shades to The Big Pink palette, commanding attention throughout with its genius gently sinking in like all good records should.
"A formidable comeback." – NME
"Packed with songs that stand to soundtrack the year." – Spin
"They want to be the world’s rock band, and they deserve it." – Under The Radar
"Like New Order rebooted for the ’10s, this is top drawer pop, ambitious and thrillingly contemporary." – MOJO
