Rating: unmoved
This record left our Brian feeling unmoved.

The Big Pink have obviously got a bit of a breast fetish with the cover of their new single 'Dominos' featuring a cute pair of norks and the forthcoming album sleeve also being the platform for another blatant display of fine bappery. I loved the 'Velvet' single, those massive sounding walls of epic guitar noise made for pretty intense stuff that I really enjoyed but like our monster raving cynic Brett rightly points out it was probably just Kasabian covering 'Whole Again' by Atomic Kitten. This new single really does have a kind of awful Kasabian thing going on. A thudding mid-paced electro rock plodder that couldn't be more anthemic & stadium friendly if it tried. Its only redeeming feature, on this particular "number", is the big fat bastard wall-of-sound production which kind of stuns you into thinking the music is quite impressive but I reckon they're just trying to kid folks with volume & bombast. Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating as I've yet to check the album but I don't think this is a very durable song. 4AD, 7" only again.

Rating: angry
This record left Starsky the Rabbit feeling angry.

God, i hate this record. It was bad enough the radio playing it, now its all over some games advert as well. Just the sound of him starting off the "These girls fall like dominoes" refrain makes me seethe. Then he sings it over and over and over and over again because they couldn't be bothered to write any proper verses. As a rule of thumb, a good pop record for me will start with a verse before going into the main hook, where as this just flogs the hook to death without mercy.

This record left Kathita Bing feeling happy.

I quite like this song on the sky movies advert (I think?), only 'coz you hear a small part. I quite like it, but yeah, maybe if they has a few verses or different lines put in.

What their label says...

The release of ‘Dominos’ is The Big Pink’s fourth stellar single following
the limited 7” ‘Too Young To Love’ / ‘Crystal Visions’ on House
Anxiety, followed by ‘Velvet’ and ‘Stop The World’ on 4AD.

Having wowed the crowds at three shows at Glastonbury – culminating
in an appearance on the John Peel Stage on Saturday – the band have
been putting the finishing touches to debut album ‘A Brief History Of
Love’ in New York with Rich Costey.

‘Dominos’ takes The Big Pink formula even further than before. Their
digital world opens up to a world of soul – a world where Sam Cooke
and Otis Redding inspire the band to push themselves in
directions of which others can only dream.

Incredibly soulful and positive, The Big Pink make music that envelops the
listener; their digital exterior opens up to reveal a depth, a real soulful
vibe. ‘Dominos’ kicks off with an ethereal, gospel-esque vocal that weaves
in and out of layers of digital beats and guitars and Robbie Furze’s voice
is stronger than ever. The scale of the ambition of The Big Pink is again
highlighted in the epic chorus. B-side ‘She’s No Sense’ features backing
vocals from Florence Welsh, otherwise known as Florence And The
Machine.
Live, the band just get better and better, and they’re set to play a string of
festival dates this summer before embarking on their biggest UK tour so
far, culminating at London’s Electric Ballroom.
