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 Tim Hecker Dropped Pianos (Ravedeath Sketches) Electronica | Kranky | 1LP Released 21st December 2011 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tim Hecker Dropped Pianos (Ravedeath Sketches) £15.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Kranky SKU: KRANK161LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st December 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ted Nugent Ted Nugent Rock And Pop | Analogue Productions | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 13th May 2014 £45.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Ted Nugent Ted Nugent £45.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Analogue Productions SKU: APP33692 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 13th May 2014 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Peace Kindness Is The New Rock And Roll Rock And Pop | Ignition | 1LP Released 4th May 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Peace Kindness Is The New Rock And Roll £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Ignition SKU: 5052946140017 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Mellencamp Scarecrow (Half Speed Master) Rock And Pop | Virgin | Deluxe Box Set Released 4th November 2022 £108.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Mellencamp Scarecrow (Half Speed Master) £108.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Virgin Released Date: 4th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mexrrissey No Manchester Rock And Pop | Cooking Vinyl | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 11th March 2016 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mexrrissey No Manchester £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Cooking Vinyl SKU: COOKLP640 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 11th March 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View No Doubt The Singles 1992-2003 Rock And Pop | UMC/Polydor | 2LP Released 5th April 2024 £35.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations No Doubt The Singles 1992-2003 £35.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC/Polydor SKU: 6521349 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 5th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View InMe Jumpstart Hope Rock And Pop | Killing Moon | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 31st January 2020 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders InMe Jumpstart Hope £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Killing Moon SKU: KMRI2003 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 31st January 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Frank Zappa The Mothers Of Invention Dutch Courage Vol. 2 Rock And Pop | Parachute | 2LP Released 11th August 2017 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Frank Zappa The Mothers Of Invention Dutch Courage Vol. 2 £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Parachute SKU: PARA135LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 11th August 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Brittany Howard Jaime: Reimagined Rock And Pop | ATO / Columbia | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th September 2021 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Brittany Howard Jaime: Reimagined £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: ATO / Columbia SKU: 88088245591 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th September 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Alexandra Burke Overcome Rock And Pop | Cooking Vinyl | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 18th November 2022 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alexandra Burke Overcome £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Cooking Vinyl SKU: COOKLP816 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 18th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
