Today's feature: The Big Pink
Loving them! I'm currently listening to the first album (released a few years back), "A Brief History of Love," on repeat. It's upbeat yet refrains from being too pop-y. There's that edge of techno (call it European, if you must) that pervades through tracks like Too Young to Love and Tonight. Definitely songs for the middle of the run work-out track. Perfect for a study-break-dance-in-your-room moment. You enter a rave within your mind and collapse to a music-guided rhythm for those four minutes and ten seconds. Another favorite: Dominos. Another bob-of-the-head with a heavier landing beat.
The lyrics are simple with subtle truths in the imagery. Perhaps, truly the briefest history of some stages of the human emotion of love/attachment.
The new album, "Future This," is a good follow - up. Try out Stay Gold -- for some reason, it echoes in me a reminiscence of old school tracks. Not sure exactly what -- but there is a catchy-ness to it that draws me. Is it some underlying 90s appeal that is the trigger? I don't know. But I like it. Also, if you ignore the first 23 seconds of the song 1313 -- you will likely enjoy it. I did :)
Actually, my recommendation is to just scroll and skip the first 23 seconds of the above mentioned song (1313)..otherwise, you might second-guess my musical taste. Truly, there are lyrics tucked away within the melodies of the songs that just hit dead on. And you nod. Then smile.
Instantaneous reaction: 1) Shut the office door. 2) Bob your head. 3) Dance in your seat (repeat steps 2 - 3).
