Happy days. We got a big old delivery of new beach flavours from the ever reliable Olde English Spelling Bee label. First up it's Big Troubles debut LP 'Worry'. Now you may recall me wittering on about B.T's Spector vs. Hannett production sound in the review of their 7" single and I'm pleased to here that theme runs true throughout 'Worry'. Big Troubles are masters of lo-fi indie pop with half of their stuff sounding like classic mid-eighties indie rock and the rest sounding reminiscent of electro/synth pop of the same era, basically they've got the whole 80's indie sound nailed whilst sounding fresh enough to pull it off without doing anyone's head in. 'Video Rock' starts things off in as possessed and over the top way possible and reminds me of that mad Art Of Noise style tune that finishes the A-Side of the recent Hype Williams LP whilst 'Slouch' is classic UK Gothic shoe-gaze inspired stuff done perfectly. Great band. Good name too. Totally recommended.
The very premise of this musical — executives borrowing an apartment to cheat on their wives — makes this show entertainment for grown-ups. If you’re cool with your older children being exposed to infidelity to the nth degree, they will likely enjoy the wit of the dialogue and the bouncy score. But take note: there is a suicide attempt and a drunk scene — not exactly fare for young ones.
Debut lp by Ridgewood, NJ shoegazers Big Troubles. It's pretty good. Parental advisory stickers not included.
