...according to our Brett on 24 September 2008.

The Big Pink have had a bit of hype around them so I imagine there's bound to be a bit of demand for this debut 7" on House Anxiety. The lead track - 'Too Young to Love' - probably isn't about Phil's recent escapades in the local high school but I'm sure it's about something that might be interesting. I'm just making assumptions here, sorry. The main thing about this track is the thumping electronic drums that are very, very high in the mix. The beat isn't particularly interesting and doesn't really go anywhere either, but it's an interesting sound they're going for.. I imagine the brief was to do a harder-hitting 'Soon' by My Bloody Valentine but it doesn't quite come off. Bits of Loop and that in here too as you might expect, particularly in the droney guitar backing and the vocals are all reverbed up to score maximum shoegaze points. Can't make my my up about this one but it's definitely not bad...

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

The Big Pink are Londoners Robbie Furze and Milo Cordell, two lifelong friends whose home studio experiments have bore some of the most inspiring British music of 2008. TOO YOUNG TO LOVE / CRYSTAL VISIONS is their debut single, a sublime pair of tracks which will only be available as a deluxe seven inch limited to 500 copies. It will be the first release by London based vinyl only independent label House Anxiety. Entirely characteristic of The Big Pink’s unique furrow, the hope-filled darkness of Too Young To Love points to both the digital hardcore and art-rock undergrounds, while Robbie’s trademark soaring vocal melodies and densely encompassing reverberation complete their entrancing formula. The stately drone and overdriven trebly crescendo of Crystal Visions nods to such sonic reference points as the shoe-gaze of My Bloody Valentine and brooding minimalism of Earth, but the track’s chiming chorus and tender melodic nuance allow it a fragile beauty of its very own. While all song writing and creative control remains in Milo and Robbie’s able hands, The Big Pink’s rapidly growing reputation as an essential live act has been ensured by the onstage collaboration of periphery members such as Daniel O’Sullivan from Guapo and Sunn0))), electronic artiste Jo Apps from the Planet Mu label, drummer Akiko Matsuura of Pre and Comanechi, and Al O’Connell producer/engineer for the likes of The Rapture and Klaxons.
