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 Nearly New View Product Quick View Paul Weller Weller At The BBC Rock And Pop | Univeral | 3LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 19th April 2023 £160.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Paul Weller Weller At The BBC £160.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Univeral SKU: nn262035 Formats: 3LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 19th April 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Leonard Cohen Songs From The Road (2008-09) Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 24th September 2010 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Leonard Cohen Songs From The Road (2008-09) £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP193 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 24th September 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kylie Minogue Fever Rock And Pop | Parlophone | 180g, 1LP Released 10th June 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kylie Minogue Fever £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Parlophone SKU: 0190296683039 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 10th June 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Blitzen Trapper American Goldwing Americana / Country | Sub Pop | 1LP Released 12th September 2011 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Blitzen Trapper American Goldwing £14.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP949 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th September 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View ZZ Top Eliminator – 40th Anniversary Rock And Pop | Rhino Warner | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 27th January 2023 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders ZZ Top Eliminator – 40th Anniversary £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino Warner SKU: 0603497837786 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 27th January 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mick Harvey Intoxicated Women Rock And Pop | Mute | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 7th April 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mick Harvey Intoxicated Women £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mute SKU: LSTUMM396 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 7th April 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Paul Smith & Peter Brewis Frozen By Sight Rock And Pop | Memphis Industries | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 17th November 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Paul Smith & Peter Brewis Frozen By Sight £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Memphis Industries SKU: MI0337LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 17th November 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Roger Waters Amused To Death (4LP Set) Rock And Pop | Analogue Productions | 45rpm, 4LP, Box Set Released 22nd February 2023 £165.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Roger Waters Amused To Death (4LP Set) £165.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AAPP468761-45 Formats: 45rpm, 4LP, Box Set Released Date: 22nd February 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Simple Minds Big Music Rock And Pop | Simple Minds Ltd | 2LP Released 10th November 2014 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Simple Minds Big Music £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Simple Minds Ltd SKU: SMBM05 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 10th November 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Angel Olsen All Mirrors Rock And Pop | Jagjaguwar | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 4th October 2019 £22.00 Select options Angel Olsen All Mirrors £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Jagjaguwar Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 4th October 2019 Read More Select options See more in Rock And Pop Start again
