Chichester. Folktronica. Weird,
right? Right but, as I keep telling the teenage kids that live in my house,
weird is not a bad thing. This three track EP, ‘Taiwan’, from Chichester duo
The Big Sky is as expansive as it is introspective, as organic as it is
electronic and as familiar as it is jarring. Opening track ‘On the Run’ evolves
from the haunting folky plucked strings of a Mumford & Sons or Brother
& Bones track in to a dubby, sketchy and blissed piece of electronica that
makes you want to lie on a beach as the sun goes down and the party starts to
wind in to action. ‘The Afterglow’ comes in at just under 13 minutes long but
again we’re on a journey that takes us from the folky roots of the British
Isles to Balaeric islands and you don’t notice the time passing as this song
meanders and winds through a summer of love, adventure and new experiences. The
closing track of this collection is ‘One Brush with Love’ which starts with
tender vocals and intertwined, plucked strings that get swept along by
processed beats and uplifting synths and on paper it shouldn’t work but, well,
it just does. I can totally picture this duo killing it in a tent at a festival
somewhere this summer as folkies and dance nuts dance side by side without
really understanding why.
