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 Ed Sheeran x Rock And Pop | Asylum | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 24th June 2014 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ed Sheeran x £33.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Asylum SKU: 2564628587 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 24th June 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View June Tabor Ashore Rock And Pop | RSD2018 | 2LP Released 21st April 2018 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders June Tabor Ashore £27.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: RSD2018 SKU: VIN180LP133 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 21st April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kills, The Ash & Ice Rock And Pop | Domino | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 31st May 2016 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kills, The Ash & Ice £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Domino SKU: WIGLP289 Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 31st May 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Roxy Music Avalon (Half Speed Master) Rock And Pop | EMI | 1LP Released 1st July 2022 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Roxy Music Avalon (Half Speed Master) £30.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: EMI SKU: RMLP8 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st July 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ramones, The Ramones (40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) Rock And Pop | Rhino | Box Set Released 5th September 2016 £46.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ramones, The Ramones (40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) £46.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 0081227945176 Formats: Box Set Released Date: 5th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Heaven 17 Penthouse And Pavement Rock And Pop | UMC | 1LP Released 26th September 2016 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Heaven 17 Penthouse And Pavement £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 4794160 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders On Sale View Product Quick View A Certain Ratio ACR:EPA Rock And Pop | Mute | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 7th May 2021 £9.99 £14.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations A Certain Ratio ACR:EPA £9.99 £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mute SKU: 12MUTE631 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 7th May 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Wye Oak Shriek + Variations Rock And Pop | Merge Records | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 22nd March 2024 £42.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wye Oak Shriek + Variations £42.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Merge Records SKU: MRG830LPC1 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 22nd March 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ibibio Sound Machine Electricity Rock And Pop | Merge Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 25th March 2022 £20.00 - £21.00 Select options Ibibio Sound Machine Electricity £20.00 - £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Merge Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 25th March 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Mirah C’mon Miracle Rock And Pop | Double Double Whammy | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 30th April 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mirah C’mon Miracle £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Double Double Whammy SKU: LPDDW071 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 30th April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
