BIG SPECIAL - SINGLE REVIEW

Big Special - Dust Off/Start Again (SO 
Recordings)

Release Date: Out Now

Right folks, are you holding on? 2024 is going to be one hell of a year for Big Special and the roller coaster is just juddering away from the awkward teenager responsible for your safety. Just to entertain your ascent to the top, let's listen to the duo's new single 'Dust Off/Start Again' shall we? A loose but industrial beat and quiet drone underpin the spoken word poetry which precedes the guitar chug and doomy, Leonard Cohen meets Nick Drake meets Iggy Pop vocal delivery. This is the sound of people realising that living shouldn't have a cost, that we're not all in it together and austerity was not a team event. This is the sound of revolution in rhyming couplets and this, my friends, is just the beginning.
