The Big Pink - Details of the debut album announced
06 July 09
As recording starts to come to a close out in New York, The Big Pink have revealed the title of their forthcoming debut record, due September 14 / 15 (US) through 4AD.
Speaking to 6Music, Milo Cordell discussed how A Brief History Of Love came to be the title for the release.
"Every song is a love song to some degree, about every different aspect of love.
"The good, the bad, the boring, the exciting, the dreams, the nightmares, the whole thing and I guess that’s what encompasses the whole album, and we have a song called ‘A Brief History Of Love’ so it’s apt."
Currently still recording out in Manhattan with various production teams, Milo declared the heritage of the studio where they were recording had been crucial to the way they had gone about putting the album together.
"It’s been great doing it in New York, being in Electric Lady. We recorded it in the same room as Combat Rock by The Clash."
Partner Robbie Furze also revealed certain dimensions to their sound were developed as a result of them making the most of the studio.
"We’ve got Bowie’s piano, the one that he played on, we’ve actually got on our record.
"There’s a couple of slower ones that we don’t play live," Furze added. "We actually wrote a new song out in Electric Lady which came very quickly in that room.”
