简介

2012 was a big year for Melbourne duo Big Scary. Touring their Triple J Album of The Year-nominated record Vacation around the country and then the world, their trajectory included an extensive US tour, a stop by mega music festival South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, and culminated with a journey to India for a string of performances. They say that travel changes you, and while no Ravi Shankar-esque sitar sounds feature on the band’s second album Not Art, it’s definitely a departure from Vacation’s plugged-in indie-rock roots. This time Tom Iansek and Jo Syme are slowing things down, favoring a more R’nB-flavored sound. The first taste of Not Art with the enticingly-named teaser track Phil Collins earlier this year. This slow burning song defies the conventions of an lead album single and, according to lead vocalist Tom Iansek, releasing it first was a deliberate act of misdirection. Iansek’s whispering vocals are brooding, a little aggressive, and wholly melancholic. While Syme’s looping, macabre drum sequence (it’s similarity to 1981 Phil Collins hit In the Air Tonight no doubt lending to the track’s name) sets the mood for the much darker record to come.
