what's big, pink and hard?

a pig with a flick-knife wheyyyyyyyyy.



i've never really got into the whole shoegaze thing, its not that i don't like what i've heard i've just never really set time aside to get into it. recent bands like the raveonettes and glasvegas have attempted to emulate the shoegaze sound with varying degrees of success, but none of these have managed to grab my attention and adulation quite like the big pink have.

the big pink are a duo from london who blend spellbinding white noise and reverb with epic electronic beats and lyrics about breaking hearts. they've already toured with tv on the radio and they're starting to get all the right kind of attention from blogs and the media alike.

you can download their upcoming single dominos from their website for free, which you should definitely do because its fucking fantastic and the chorus will be cemented in your brain for a good few days. also velvet, which featured on the mixtape i posted this week, is a must-listen. here's a few for you to download:

The Big Pink – Velvet
