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 Mandolin Orange This Side Of Jordan Americana / Country | Yep Roc | 1LP Released 26th August 2013 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mandolin Orange This Side Of Jordan £21.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Yep Roc SKU: YEP2338LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th August 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Simon & Garfunkel The Graduate Rock And Pop | Sony Music | 1LP Released 4th June 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Simon & Garfunkel The Graduate £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Music SKU: 88875049711 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th June 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Magnum Goodnight L.A.
