The Big Pink’s connections have been well documented: Robbie Furze was once guitarist with Alec Empire; Milo Cordell is the son of “Whiter Shade Of Pale” producer Denny and boss of Merok Records, the label that launched Klaxons and Crystal Castles.
There’s nothing quite as forward-looking here: their dystopian beats, dark electronics and distorted guitars have been heard before, specifically in Alan Moulder’s productions for the Jesus & Mary Chain and Curve in the early-’90s. Moulder himself even mixes former single and album highlight “Velvet”.
