The Big Pink - Velvet

Who ever said jealousy was a bad thing?

The Big Pink started when label manager at Merock Records (Telepathe, Salem) Caleb Merock got a bit jealous of his bands going off and doing the rock star thing and decided to have a crack at it himself. Aren’t we lucky he did? The Big Pink essentially sound like electro kids brought up on a healthy diet of My Bloody Valentine and Jesus And Mary Chain, just take a listen to their single ‘Velvet”.

It’s a nice clash of swampy, dark atmospheric electro with a wall of guitar and soulful vocals thrown over the top.

With the ink still drying on their 4AD signing, these guys have promised self produced album later this year.
