Stone Fish Big French SKU: WCR066LP Barcode: 0616892451044 17.00 £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Wharf Cat Released Date: 26th May 2017 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Big French have returned, following up their maverick 2013 debut album ‘Downtown Runnin’ with ‘Stone Fish’, a 16-track sophomore full-length that sees bandleader Quentin Moore’s energetic bursts of post punk composition transformed by boutique, reel-to-reel production to fantastic ends, filtering established pop sensibilities through eclectic idioms of free-expression. On ‘Stone Fish’ – the band’s third release for Wharf Cat Records – Moore shares co-production credits alongside longtime collaborator Zach Phillips (Blanche Blanche Blanche, OSR Tapes) and orchestrates electric performances from band members Colin White, Adam Steck, Jo Miller-Gamble, as well as a cameo appearance from Austin Julian (The Sediment Club, Sunk Heaven). Assembled primarily from tracks recorded to tape at Phillip’s Manual FX Studio in Brooklyn circa 2015 / 2016, the sonic framework of ‘Stone Fish’ swerves through the gamut of emotions while being united by kinetic arrangements of layered madness revolving around Moore’s instinctive, delicate vocal melodies and his asymmetrical guitar leads. Virtuosic grooving and free-improv rooted leads power the songs forward. Rocking hits like ‘I Wanna New Rome’, ‘Words Appear’ and ‘Rush Morgue’ speed by, (nearly every cut is less than three minutes long) striking the listener with concise declarations, intended to both be familiar and at the same time to shock and to never resolve vis-a-vis the expected trope. Tracks like ‘The Troll’, ‘Fly Like A Bird’ or ‘My Angel’ gracefully deliver subdued melodic content over stream of consciousness harmonic turns. Throughout the record musical ideas jump in and out of focus redirecting the ever-changing cacophony of plucked guitars and jarring rhythms: Zach Phillips Wurlitzer might creep in with an enharmonic lick, reel-to-reel manipulation may distort the drums, sending a noisy crash through the channels. With multiple listens, ‘Stone Fish’ revels itself as more detailed and exciting each time, existing as smart reorientation of the boundaries of pop music’s comfort zone. “A testament to coloring outside the lines” – Impose “Reflections of reality in song and string, old and new, cream drops and heads nod” – Tiny Mix Tapes “A feeling equivalent to rocking out too hard to Royal Trux while watching a workplace-instructional films” – Ad Hoc Artist Big French Genre Rock And Pop Label Wharf Cat Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Hey Grandma Fly Like A Bird Stone Fish Apartments For The West Pamela Words Appear The Troll The New Cochlear Sun The Chosen One Grandpa’s House I Wanna New Rome Rush Morgue Big French Second Kid With You Better At Me My Angel Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Yacht Chain Tripping Rock And Pop | DFA | 1LP Released 20th September 2019 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Yacht Chain Tripping £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: DFA SKU: DFA2650LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kevin Morby Still Life Rock And Pop | Woodsist | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 15th July 2022 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kevin Morby Still Life £27.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Woodsist SKU: WOODSIST075G Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 15th July 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Echo & the Bunnymen Crocodiles Rock And Pop | Rhino | 1LP Released 22nd October 2021 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Echo & the Bunnymen Crocodiles £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 0190295360894 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd October 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Peter Gabriel Birdy (Original Soundtrack) Rock And Pop | Real World | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 28th July 2017 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Peter Gabriel Birdy (Original Soundtrack) £27.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Real World SKU: PGLPRBIRX Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 28th July 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Chayla Hope Damn, Feelings Rock And Pop | Misra | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 9th June 2023 £42.00 Select options Chayla Hope Damn, Feelings £42.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Misra Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 9th June 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View U2 Achtung Baby – 30th Anniversary Edition Rock And Pop | Island | 180g, 2LP Released 19th November 2021 £37.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders U2 Achtung Baby – 30th Anniversary Edition £37.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Island SKU: 3868625 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 19th November 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Misty Miller The Whole Family Is Worred Rock And Pop | Epic | 1LP Released 29th April 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Misty Miller The Whole Family Is Worred £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Epic SKU: 88875199891 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th April 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Girls In Hawaii Hello Strange Rock And Pop | Naive | 1LP Released 9th February 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Girls In Hawaii Hello Strange £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Naive SKU: NV832361 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th February 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Paul Weller Wild Wood Rock And Pop | UMC | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 16th January 2017 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Paul Weller Wild Wood £36.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 4797825 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 16th January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fray, The How To Save A Life Rock And Pop | Sony | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 2nd February 2024 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fray, The How To Save A Life £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony SKU: 19658833801 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 2nd February 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
