Our single of the week (9th July 2010)
...according to our Business Lady on Thu 08 Jul, 2010.
This Big Troubles 7" is the first in a series of Olde English Spelling Bee 7"s due over the coming months. Recommended to the label by Matt Mondanile (Real Estate, Ducktails etc.). Big Troubles trade in a mutant form of lo-fi pop recorded in an almost industrial style. Be warned, though B.T. are slightly harsh on the ears you'll be rewarded long term for giving this your undivided attention. I particularly like the insanity of the title track with its mental vocal effects and pseudo-industrial shoegaze vibe.... Totally killer track. 'Grey Dayz' sounds pretty much exactly like a Spectrals song with industrial production techniques applied, it sounds like a Spector and Hannett production collaboration... If that makes sense. Amazing stuff!
Kicking off the new OESB 7" series with a 4 track single by Big Troubles. International playboy Matt Mondanile (Real Estate, Ducktails) discovered Big Troubles and urged Olde English Spelling Bee to sign these guys on the spot for their fresh "industrial shoegaze pop" sound. Done and done. Features home recordings by Alex Craig and Ian Drennan who split songwriting and vocal duties down the middle. They are joined live by Luka Usmiani (No Demons Here) on bass and Sam Franklin (Fluffy Lumbers) on drums. Their debut full-length album "Worry" will be out on OESB in July.
