The Big Pink are a London band formed in 2007, which started out as a duo and now lines up as multi-instrumentalists Robbie Furze, Akiko Matsuura and Charlie Barker. Their sound is electronic rock with the lights turned down and the volume turned up: fuzzed-out guitars, pounding machine beats and hooks that sneak in through the noise. They signed to 4AD in 2009 and the same year took the NME Philip Hall Radar Award for best new act.
Their debut album, A Brief History of Love, came out in September 2009, and "Dominos" is the song everyone remembers, a stomping, sneering anthem with a chant-along chorus that sounds like it was built for a sweaty club at 2 a.m. "Velvet", from the same record, goes the other way, slow, hazy and swooning. Future This followed in January 2012, with "Hit The Ground (Superman)" pushing the beats even further to the front.
