The Big Pink - 4AD Session

Subscribe to 4AD here: bit.ly/4ADKZbin
Ahead of the release of their second album, Future This, The Big Pink have recorded a set of 5 songs as part of the 4AD Sessions series. Bringing to life the anthemic qualities of the new album, the session is a showcase of the unabashed step towards stadium dynamics the band have made on Future This, while also displaying the often-curveball influences that continue to underpin their best work.
Filmed in 3 Mills Studios, the location was to have a coincidental resonance with the music. Based on Three Mill Island in Bromley-by-Bow, the island is London's oldest surviving industrial centre with evidence to suggest that the mills it houses were listed in the Domesday Book. The grand historical associations and JG Ballard-esque setting appears fitting of the darkened, industrial undertones that course through even the most pop moments of The Big Pink's music. Channeling the epic, immersive and otherworldy feel of the new album, the stark backdrop of the warehouse-like space was coupled with lasers used in a structural way to frame the band and change the physical surroundings.
Playing several tracks from Future This, alongside spiritual cousin 'Velvet', taken from the first album, the session captures what makes The Big Pink such an intriguing band. Effortlessly moving between the outré sounds of the underground and their love for shameless pop hooks, the band display the full scale of their creative ambitions.

The Big Pink are just aces. You won't find a better band on the scene right now. It's amazing there are so many ignorant fools complaining about the quality of artists and music today. Cheers to all of you who appreciate good music.

[@MahatamaGandu]

Are you still there and listening it ?

[@integratedartsaz]

Collectively 4AD has shattered so many paradigms it stands to reason they would have their hand on the pulse of future music, regardless the genre. I always relied on 4AD for the next mindfuck I was looking for, and they have never failed to deliver. From Dead Can Dance to Cocteau Twins to the Pixies to The Big Pink; I can't express enough how grateful I am to all the artists 4AD has recorded. You have all made this unbearably ignorant world something beautiful and wonderfully nascent.

The Big Pink is everything I love about british music. All the elements are mixed so perfectly. How the hell did I miss them four days ago in San Francisco... Bummer

Saw this guy on “ what’s in my bag” Thought I’d check ‘em out Pretty friggin good.

[@dazpatreg]

I really didn't appreciate these lads enough when I first heard them. I heard 'These Girls Fall like Dominoes' and thought (wrongly) oh it's just another shallow laddist hipster band. Thankfully I listened to them again and now recognise the err of my ways. Great performance.
