Sooooo...it's the return of The Big Pink. Can't say I'm a big fan of these kids to be honest. I still find it weird that Akiko from PRE/Comanechi plays drums with them. 'Stay Gold' is a big anthemic sounding record with the usual Big Pink traits and an oddly massive sounding baggy beat. It comes in a pink sleeve and is accompanied by two 'AraabMUZIK' remixes of the same track. They kinda mix things up as you do on a remix but the cruddiness of the track remains the same. Oh, and someone raps which improves matters briefly.
• The Big Pink return with ‘Stay Gold’, the first new track to appear from their forthcoming second album, ‘Future This’.
• ‘Stay Gold’ was given its world premiere by Zane Lowe when he played it as his Hottest Record In The World on his Radio 1 show. It shows the band have lost none of their verve in their time away from the spotlight.
• Written with references to both an article from the late 60s by Stanley Kubrick in Playboy and Robert Frost's Pulitzer Prize winning poem, 'Nothing Gold Can Stay' (which also featured prominently in the book and subsequent film, ‘The Outsiders’), 'Stay Gold' is about finding things that make you happy. In Milo's case, that was graffiti when he was a kid; a subject that runs through the artwork for their forthcoming second album.
• “These guys have got soul and they're not afraid to bare it” - NME
• An accompanying video was directed by rising star Ollie Murray, who recently made his solo directorial debut with the promo for 'Still Life' by The Horrors.
