WHO ARE THE BIG PINK?

In case you missed the buzz,

Searing and soulful, transcendental and life affirming, The Big Pink are Robbie Furze and Milo Cordell, two old friends in love with digital hardcore and the narcotic effects of blessed out electronic music. Woozy refrains become 'pink noise'. They dream of the future. More people should. There is an incredible human soul to all they do, something entrancing.


The Big Pink recorded their debut album at the legendary Electric Ladyland studios in New York. The album is self-produced, mixed by Rich Costey (Interpol, Glasvegas, The Mars Volta, Muse). Entitled A Brief History Of Love, Milo Cordell says of the album name “Every song is a love song to some degree, about every different aspect of love.

“The good, the bad, the boring, the exciting, the dreams, the nightmares, the whole thing and I guess that’s what encompasses the whole album."


A Brief History Of Love is out through 4ad/ Remote Control September 11.

New video from The Big Pink - Dominos

The Big Pink have released a second video from their debut album A History Of Love, due for release Sep 12.

The track is the anthemic Dominos, and it will have you turning up the volume dial so you can sing along at the top of your lungs!

The video for their first single, Velvet, was a little too saucy for some (bondage, neck straps and all), making some commercial networks stop short of broadcasting it to the free to air masses.

What will they figure of these icy melting maidens being exploded across the screen? The clip features Robbie and Milo, but also their hot Japanese drummer Akiko Matsuura.

The Big Pink announce debut album

From 4ad:

As recording starts to come to a close out in New York, The Big Pink have revealed the title of their forthcoming debut record, due September.

Speaking to 6Music, Milo Cordell discussed how A Brief History Of Love came to be the title for the release.

"Every song is a love song to some degree, about every different aspect of love.

"The good, the bad, the boring, the exciting, the dreams, the nightmares, the whole thing and I guess that’s what encompasses the whole album, and we have a song called ‘A Brief History Of Love’ so it’s apt."

Currently still recording out in Manhattan with various production teams, Milo declared the heritage of the studio where they were recording had been crucial to the way they had gone about putting the album together.

"It’s been great doing it in New York, being in Electric Lady. We recorded it in the same room as Combat Rock by The Clash."

Partner Robbie Furze also revealed certain dimensions to their sound were developed as a result of them making the most of the studio.

"We’ve got Bowie’s piano, the one that he played on, we’ve actually got on our record.

"There’s a couple of slower ones that we don’t play live," Furze added. "We actually wrote a new song out in Electric Lady which came very quickly in that room.”

As part of our monthly mailout we have another competition for you to enter, this time with the chance to win one of the copies of the band's Japanese EP release, This Is Our Time. To be in with the running to win sign up to the 4AD mailing list.

More details on the record and the much-anticipated video for 'Stop The World' expected shortly.

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.
