Big Pink get creative

Electro duo tell 6 Music they want toÌýrecord another LPÌý

18ÌýSeptemberÌý2009Ìý-ÌýThe Big PinkÌýhave admitted they are "desperate" to getÌýback in the studio to start working on albumÌýnumber two.

The London electro-duo, who only released their debut A Brief History Of Love this week, told 6 Music they are already gettingÌýitchy feet.

"It feels good,"Ìýsaid one half of the duo, Robbie Furze. "I think both of us just want to get back into the studioÌýand do the next record. It's kind of weird because onceÌýthe album'sÌýout, it's such a long process before you get started on the next one."

"We've just been back in the studio to do a remix of (forthcoming single) Velvet and a cover of an Otis Reading track," added keyboard player Milo Cordell.Ìý"So we have already started getting creative again."

The pair, who picked up the Philip Hall Radar Award for best new act at the NME Awards earlier this year, also explained why they decided to cut early single Stop The WorldÌýfrom theirÌýdebut's final tracklisting.

"We're really going to step up the visuals and create an intense live atmosphere."

"We leftÌýit off the album because it never worked live,"Ìýexplained Furze.Ìý"We liked itÌýwhen we first recorded itÌýbut little by little we started hating it and now we just can't bare to listen to it."

The duo are dueÌýto hit the road for a UK headline tour in October. CordellÌýtold 6 MusicÌýthey have already started planning their stage set, which is expected to involve plenty of audience participation.

"We're really going to step up the visuals and create something intense," he enthused.

"It's all going to be analogue, old vintage lights, I'm not into lasers or LED lighting. We want to make it really stark.

"We want to get the audience involved too," he continued.Ìý"We're planning on putting strobes in the crowd so when the songs kick in, everyone feels it."
