"No Big Deal" comes off Love and Rockets' 1989 self-titled album, and it's Daniel Ash's show from the jump: he wrote the words, sings them, and handles guitar and some of the bass, with David J also on bass and Kevin Haskins on drums and a bit of guitar. All three split the music credit, and John Fryer engineered it.
The title is a shrug, and the song plays it cool to match, riding a lean, wiry groove while Ash sounds offhand and faintly amused, the guitars buzzing just under the surface like a neon sign about to blow.
