<p>• 2009  started with  a bang, with  the  ink  just  drying  on  a worldwide deal with 4AD –  an  ap<br />move  as  their  otherworldly  qualities  provide  a  direct  sonic  connection  to  some  of  the<br />label’s most  celebrated acts like Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance and TV On The<br />Radio –  they appeared high up  in  the  critics  vote BBC Sound poll and  then  received  the<br />prestigious Philip Hall Radar Award at the NME Awards, something that surprised all bu<br />those that knew what was about to follow.<br />• Ignoring all pressure, they headed to the Electric Lady Studios in New York to record and self-<br />produce what was to become their epic debut album, ‘A Brief History of Love.’<br />• The job of mixing fell to Rich Costey (Mastodon, Muse, New Order, Rage Against The<br />Machine) with the exception of ‘Velvet’, which was previously mixed by Alan Moulder (My<br />Bloody Valentine, NiN, Smashing Pumpkins, Yeah Yeah Yeahs). <br />• The  final  results  are  eleven  stunning  tracks  that  chart  the  trials  of  the  heart,  set<br />within a sound-world that combines melody and beautiful noise in equal measure.<br />• Previous  singles,  ‘Too  Young  To  Love’  and  ‘Velvet’ make  the  cut  while  live  favourites  like<br />‘Crystal Visions’,  ‘Dominos’ and  ‘Count Backwards From Ten’ all go  towards creating a body<br />of work so strong, it cements The Big Pink’s position as one of the finest and most<br />important bands to emerge in years.</p>
