THE BIG PNK
Future This
4AD Future This by The Big Pink
New Album Out Now
The Big Pink's new album, Future This, is released. Named after a skateboard company's slogan from the 80s, it's proved an apt title.
Tour Dates:
Next month will see the band go out on a nationwide tour, culminating in an NME Awards headline show at The Garage in London. See below for all dates.
"A formidable comeback." - NME
"Packed with songs that stand to soundtrack the year." - Spin
"They want to be the world's biggest rock band, and they deserve it." - Under The Radar
"Like New Order rebooted for the '10s, this is top drawer pop, ambitious and thrillingly contemporary." - MOJO
Recorded over the summer of 2011, with ideas flowing, they worked with producer Paul Epworth (Adele, Florence & The Machine, Friendly Fires) to help them match their high ambitions. The end result is a perfect realisation of the band's initial intentions to marry their more outre influences with a pop sensibility. The 10 tracks add more shades to The Big Pink palette, commanding attention throughout with its genius gently sinking in like all good records should.
Future This is completed with artwork by celebrated artist KR (the man behind Krink) using his distinct paint style to 'krink' the album's sleeve and give them a fresh update on the legacy of 4AD record design, and hark back to the skateboarding influences that shape the record's title.
