Not Art, the second album from Melbourne duo Big Scary, came out in Australia on 28 June 2013, and it's the sound of two people who started out with shakers and an acoustic guitar finding out how big a room they could fill. Tom Iansek and Joanna Syme had drifted a long way from those folk beginnings since Iansek went off to study audio engineering, and here the production is half the story, songs stacked in careful layers over Syme's drumming until indie pop starts to feel almost grand.
It debuted at number 32 on the ARIA chart and then kept picking up honors: nominations at the J Awards, the AIR Awards, the ARIA Music Awards and the Music Victoria Awards, and a win at the Australian Music Prize. Barsuk Records signed the pair late in 2013 and gave the album a North American release in March 2014.
