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 Jack Johnson Live At Third Man Records Rock And Pop | Third Man Records | 1LP Released 22nd April 2014 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jack Johnson Live At Third Man Records £13.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Third Man Records SKU: TMR227 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd April 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Yellow Magic Orchestra YMO USA & Yellow Magic Orchestra Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 20th November 2015 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Yellow Magic Orchestra YMO USA & Yellow Magic Orchestra £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1466 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 20th November 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Stealing Sheep Big Wows Rock And Pop | Heavenly | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 16th April 2019 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Stealing Sheep Big Wows £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Heavenly SKU: HVNLP163C Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 16th April 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Paul Carrack Soul Shadows Rock And Pop | Carrack UK | 180g, 1LP Released 20th October 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Paul Carrack Soul Shadows £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Carrack UK SKU: PCARLP26 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 20th October 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Edith Piaf La Vie En Rose Rock And Pop | Cleopatra Records | 180g, 1LP Released 9th February 2012 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Edith Piaf La Vie En Rose £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Cleopatra Records SKU: CLPLP5571 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 9th February 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Graham's picks View Product Quick View Supergrass The Strange Ones 1994 – 2008 Rock And Pop | BMG Records | 2LP, Includes CD, Includes Download Code Released 24th January 2020 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Supergrass The Strange Ones 1994 – 2008 £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG Records SKU: 4050538526899 Formats: 2LP, Includes CD, Includes Download Code Released Date: 24th January 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Beatles, The Sgt.
