  • Brand new album from 2014


This is the group's first album with new tracks after 5 years, released on October 31st 2014.

" Big Music"  confirms them as one of the greatest band in the world, with the energy, the mystery and magic, that they use to deliver.

The track "Blindfolded", reminds of the powerful electro-glide of 1980's "I Travel", of the swirling "Human" and immediately infectious "Midnight Walking", both of which are reminiscent of the booming sounds of 1984's Sparkle In The Rain. The title track "Big Music", too, is suitably gargantuan, with its popping syn-drums, a song all about the songs that make people feel ecstatic and romantic.

The most touching track on Big Music, is "Honest Town" is inspired by fond memories of Jim's mum, who passed away four years ago. Co-written with Iain Cook of Chvrches, it is a dream-like travelogue through Kerr's childhood stomping grounds on Glasgow's South Side. "Broken Glass Park" is an extension of this theme, exploring the nostalgia of adolescent innocence and discovery.
