Single Review: The Big Pink - Dominos (Absolute Bilge)

Just heard the new Big Pink single - what a massive disappointment from these 90s inspired heroes! "Velvet" was such a massive song - combining a taste of the indulgent shoegaze movement with modern synth, almost sounding like a late-in-the-day Placebo track - coming to an orgasmic crescendo in the chorus. "Dominos" just doesn't have the same hook - its boyish repetitive lyrics epitomise this poor offering from The Big Pink. The phrase "one-hit-wonder" comes to mind. Despite my "quick-to-judge" attitude, I might catch the guys at York Duchess at the end of September to truly make up my mind. Maybe.
