Following the enormous response for their recently shared releases 'No Angels', 'Love Spins On Its Axis', and 'Rage', which have seen media support from The Times, NME, Rolling Stone UK & US, Consequence of Sound, CLASH, Spin, The Sun, The Line of Best Fit, Stereogum, DORK, DIY, Flood Mag and many more, The Big Pink continue the support for their long-awaited third studio album 'The Love That's Ours', their first in a decade, with the haunting new single 'Safe and Sound'.
Capturing more of the poignant and heartfelt direction they have cultivated since their return, 'Safe and Sound' marks one of the more captivating offerings lifted from their forthcoming full-length. Adopting a warm and passionate piano-led aesthetic this time around, they conjure a beautifully fresh and alluring sound that matches the vibrant energy they have been producing up until now.
Speaking about 'Safe and Sound', frontman Robbie Furze said, "Dancing with these vultures in my fugitive apartment", "Angels with their wings clipped gunning for the love that's ours".
"These lines sum up the record perfectly. I moved to L.A. to find my record and I found it, but at a price. I was chased by every temptation known to mankind. I was promised love. I was promised wealth. I was promised the world. Drugs, women, stardom, all the cliches hounding me and biting at my heels. I got caught up in it. I was strung out and I got lost. I can now put my hands up and admit that.
"For a while I lost my wife. I lost my family and friends and mostly, I lost my mind.
"This song, Safe and Sound, came from a moment of pure clarity when I realised I had to turn my life around and just deliver this record.
"I was held up in my fugitive apartment and these people were not angels at all, they were gunning to take away everything I loved!
