On The Big Pink’s second effort the duo have committed a cardinal sin and compromised their sound in search of the critical acclaim they teetered upon when ‘Dominos’ was released back in 2009.
Unlike their more intimate and experimental debut ‘A Brief History of Love’ ‘Future This’ sounds bigger, more immediate but disappointingly safe.
Most of the tracks appear to have formed around big choruses which have been written in hope that it will evoke the kind of commercial success ‘Dominos’ had.
And whilst this strategy works on tracks such as ‘Give It Up’ and ‘13’ it sadly doesn’t work universally.
