Figure it Out
Press Info (English):
Over the course of their last two albums, London duo Big Deal have been perfecting their distinctive sound – gorgeous, effortlessly infectious melodies and sun dappled hooks wrapping around the bruised vocals and broken hearted lyricism of Alice Costelloe and KC Underwood.
June Gloom, their 2013 album, pointed the way towards SoCal harmonies and bigger production, and now Sakura, their new 4-track EP, explores that avenue in more detail.
‘Talk’, from their debut album Lights Out, was originally a stark, desolate ballad but now gets a grunged up, full band makeover, setting the stall for what’s to come. The single ‘Always Boys’ sees the band deliver their biggest and boldest pop song to date, complete with a nonchalant chorus that sees Costelloe bemoaning her attraction to “boys that play guitar”. And ‘Figure It Out’ which closes the EP in fine style, we see a newly reenergised band soaring towards anthemic new heights.
As an EP in and of itself Sakura is addictive and thrillingly self-contained, but as a stopgap between June Gloom and the next Big Deal record, it is tremendously exciting – a beautiful reminder that this truly unique band can really go anywhere they want the next time around.
Press Info (German):
Innerhalb des kurzen Zeitraums von nur zwei Albenveröffentlichungen haben Big Deal zu einem ziemlich einzigartigen Sound gefunden. Überschäumende, ansteckende Melodien und sonnendurchflutete Hooklines umarmen untröstliche vocals und Texte, die direkt aus unser aller gebrochenen Herzen stammen. Die in Kürze erscheinende EP untersucht weitere Details auf jener Avenue…
Nun spielen Big Deal, die weiterhin im Bandformat auftreten (neben KC Underwood und Alice Costelloe sind das Huw Webb und Melissa Rigby von S.C.U.M.), eine Europatournee, die sie – nach einer Reihe von Auftritten im Vorprogramm von Depeche Mode – erstmals nach Deutschland führt
Ihr jüngstes Album “June Gloom” sah KC Underwood und Alice Costelloe ihren zerbrechlichen, mitternächtlichen Sound um Bass und Schlagzeug erweitern: Es ist im Kern ein Bandalbum, ein Rockalbum, das für die Stärke Big Deals steht: Das Talent, mit Stille zu arbeiten, und gleichzeitig starke Hymnen zu schaffen. Und es markiert mit seinen verzerrten Gitarren einen Wendepunkt: sonisch wie lyrisch. Produziert hat Rory Attwell (Veronica Falls, PAWS, Male Bonding). Sakura macht hier weiter, doch atmen die Stücke eine neue fast sommerliche Unbeschwertheit. Große Popsongs! Bald mehr dazu!

10 Minutes Before Blackout
Press Info (English):
With Monolith an acknowledged veteran joins the HANDS label roster. “From Belgium to Berlin” – that’s not only Eric’s personal biography in short, it’s also the route that the sound he had its stakes in creating has taken: Partially club-compatible, entirely rhythmic and absorbing, this is premier league entertainment for contemporary electronic aficionados across the scenes, from the electro industrial underground onto the Berghain dance floor. It’s general knowledge that Eric van Wonterghem is a member of Absolute Body Control and Sonar, and that he has a notable past as Insekt, as well as under the Monolith moniker itself. On this behalf, “Crashed” is his 8th album already, and he can also look back at a string of live performances as well, forging his hypnotic and tribal rhythmic noise sound. This album shows the timeless facets of the “Belgian” sound that Eric van Wonterghem and his various fellow musicians have created over the last three decades, and that’s still newsworthy today: The icy, repetitive electro industrial sound, dominated by incisive rhythms with crashing cymbals and slight distortion, clinical and yet strangely warm and analogue has intrigued generations of underground music fans since its inception in the early 80s, and now it has arrived in the scene of Berlin, today’s minimal techno capital of the world, where it’s namechecked (and sometimes ripped off) by a new generation of producers. “Crashed” stands as good proof that Monolith is still capable of cutting-edge productions himself: A short, forbidding intro of static fuzz and swelling atmosphere (“No Escape”) and then 10 tight and rhythmic tracks. Some stand out as downright recommendations for the dance floor – following in the line of his recent vinyl 12” on Sonic Groove – like the rhythm noise/dub techno hybrid “Rotated”, the slightly EBM-ish “Crashed” and the hard-hitting “The Source”, while others draw from various other aspects: “Roadblock” is a raw, stomping boulder of sound, “The Victim” operates in rather purebred dub techno territory, “I Control Evolution” sounds rather klinik-al with its distorted 808 pattern and mock vocals. “10 Minutes before Blackout” finishes off an album that offers braindance and physical moments, done with expertise and a unique handwriting.
