London pop duo Robbie Furze and Milo Cordell, aka the Big Pink, release their full-length debut A Brief History Of Love this September via 4AD. It’s a difficult album to pin down: You’ll catch clattering Suicide here/there, but with plenty slow and frozen synth balladry (John Hughes, anyone?), Jesus & Mary Chain (and Happy Mondays?!) echoes, and catchy radio-ready electro-anthems like previously posted first single “Dominos.” That version didn’t come with exploding womanly ice sculptures or a frigid purple ambiance, so here’s the track’s Tim Saccenti-directed video.

In case you missed it last time:
A Brief History Of Love is out 9/22 via 4AD. The Big Pink will be touring the US in November.

Man, the readers of this site are weird! They like weird lo-fi and random noises while a solid pop song like this gets no recognition? BOO.
Thanks once again Stereogum for introducing me to this solid band! Definitely the Summer Jam of 2009, no doubt.
Elvis vs. Shark said everything I wanted to say and more.
This band is always worth a listen. Good stuff.
