专辑介绍

。回头瞭望身后那朵火红的蘑菰云…你的青春，就是那枚原子弹！

。荣获2009 NME新人奖‧入主Pitchfork 2000-2009五百大单曲宝座

。招唤Jesus & Mary Chain、My Bloody Valentine、MGMT鬼魂

2009年就快结束，刚窜出头的新秀无不摩拳擦掌觊觎「年度最佳新团」宝座。凭藉骇人的《A Brief History Of Love》，伦敦二人组The Big Pink注定跻身有力的竞逐者行列。成员Milo Cordell是Merok厂牌的负责人，该厂曾替Crystal Castles与Klaxons出版作品，The Big Pink与新锐舞（Nu Rave）一派颇有渊源。

虽也挟带电子讯号，流淌在The Big Pink血管裡的却是100%的摇滚原汁：80年代的Jesus & Mary Chain，90年代的My Bloody Valentine与Nine Inch Nails都在射程范围。仔细听，Velvet Underground也还阴魂不散地蛰伏在皮肤下，整张《A Brief History Of Love》犹如一首加长又加味的〈Heroin〉，岂能不爱？

团员自行录製于纽约市的传奇录音室Electric Lady，近年火热的製作人Rich Costey（Muse、Mew、Glasvegas）溷音，并由英伦名厂4AD发行，The Big Pink优良的血统已经赢在起跑点，缴出来的十一首歌更渗着浓郁的经典感 — 工业摇滚的幽暗重拍、太空摇滚的嗡嗡幻音与Shoegazing乐派层层叠叠的迷离吉他牆，两人将这些声响装进一只真空压缩袋，把它放上一条沸腾的河，从上游漂荡到下游。

〈Dominos〉呼应了MGMT大摇大摆的电气摇滚态度，女声合唱的专辑同名曲是首梦幻小歌，〈At War With The Sun〉彷彿年轻的Primal Scream。然而，最撼动人心的仍属残暴而美丽的〈Velvet〉，每一小节都招唤出令人想念的90摇滚精神。听听3分34秒那声轰然巨响，回头瞭望身后那朵火红的蘑菰云，你的青春，就是那枚原子弹。

Despite only a handful of releases to date, London duo Robbie Furze andMilo Cordell aka The Big Pink have built up quite a buzz around the release of their debut album. Their name is a bit misleading - they have no Band or Bob Dylan-esque qualities to their music but rather mix 80s and 90s shoe-gazer influences with synth beats to produce their own bold unique sound.

Opener Crystal Visions builds slowly with crackling synths to a pulsating wall of sound and a feedback laced outro, letting you know exactly what to expect from the rest of the album. The distorted feedback drenched sound continues on Too Young To Love before a complete change with upcoming single Dominos. It is the most pop-like number on the album with an instantly memorable melody and infectious chorus - this one could well be a mainstream hit.

At War With The World is one of many stand out tracks with that layered, feedback drenched sound that so typifies the band, crooning vocal and sensitive lyrics. Previous single Velvet is another one. Mixed by Alan Moulder (My Bloody Valentine), his influence is evident and the result is fantastic. It's a huge number with a catchy melody

underneath soaring vocals, a wall of guitar noise and programmed beats.

A Brief History Of Love is a big low tempo ballad that benefits from guest female vocals to create a mesmerising duet before the album closes with Countbackwards From Ten another slow burner.

And these tempo changes keep you guessing, The Big Pink's music is far from predictable. It is reminiscent of the best bits of the 90s indie scene but with the added depth of synths and the wall of guitar 'noise'. A Brief History Of Love is a brilliantly bold debut that would be an asset to any record collection - it will draw you in further with every listen.
