BIG SPECIAL - SINGLE REVIEW

Big Special - Butcher's Bin (SO Recordings) 

Release Date: Out Now

Would you look at that list of live dates? That's the touring schedule of a band who everyone wants a piece of and that band is Big Special, ladies and gentlemen. The duo's new single, 'Butcher's Bin', opens with dirty and ominous fuzz-bass and the kind of beat that feels like a hangover has been given a drum machine and told to do it's worst. The vibes are raw and intense with elements of Mike Skinner in the vocals and IDLES in the arrangements but Big Special weave those two threads together brilliantly to make a strong noose and then stare unblinkingly at the absolute state of the world right now.
