The supremely talented duo Big Scary – led by the god-like multi-talent Tom Iansek – has remained painfully quiet for a few years now. Iansek has gone from strength to strength in the meantime, with production credits racking up alongside the now-iconic #1 Dads album ‘About Face’, but he and Jo have maintained a silence only slightly broken by the release of their eerily contagious single “Organism” late last year.
All that’s in the past now. Today, Big Scary have officially announced their brand new album ‘Animal’ and its second single “Over Matter”. ‘Animal’ will see the light of day on September 2nd, and according to the band themselves, “it has been shaped for a unique vinyl listening experience”.
“Over Matter” is a moodier experience than what Big Scary fans are likely accustomed to. Never one to stand still, Iansek has once again reinvented his own wheel by delivering a spoken-style vocal delivery over meticulous layers of soft percussion, smooth bass lines and a climactic sax solo. Mark that release date in your calendars pronto – this is going to be one special album.
