Hello,

- We have a great demo review from online webzine damnpest.com

Big Yellow;Demo

This demo brings me back to the Inspiral Carpets, ‘Cool as Fuck’ days, not
just for the music but for the expression. The all encompassing swirl of
cascading atmospherics set against a laid back but boldly resonate vocal
conveys the optimism amongst despair only the children of Thatcherism can
muster. There are elements of Prisoners psychadelia, gothic Cure-like
guitars and the gritty melodies of early James.

‘Twists and Turns’ begins with a tap on the drums and a doom laden clang of
guitar. The sheer struggle of a restrained melody rasping against the mire
and poking its head over the parapet is emotional and almost epic. It is a
raw atmospheric that is rarely espoused in these technologically
materialistic times and is a glorious reminder of how we can incorporate the
mood of the past into modern music. It certainly got me moved.

‘Home’ and ‘Away’ instil the Big Yellow Ethos; lyrics of trying to emulate a
sense of belonging in difficult times are personified with the
aforementioned struggle between optimism and doom encapsulated in the
rhythm. Big Yellow express emotion conventionally disparate to their peers
and are all the more vital for it. Great stuff.
