Happy album release day to the unstoppable Big Scary, their 6th LP ‘Wing’ is out now. Very happy listening Xx.

LISTEN HERE

Sonically, space and ideas are lingered upon, allowed to stretch out. Synths that pulse and shimmer, reassuring electric guitar riffs, and “vibe-sparkles” are the signature sounds across the collection.

Currently living at opposite ends of the earth, with Jo in central Victoria and Tom in London, Big Scary’s next live dates will be somewhere in the future. A vinyl pressing will also be a future endeavour, as the band have rushed to get the digital album released before Jo releases a baby this year! Fans can expect vinyl and tour dates to be revisited in the *hopefully* not too distant future.

Very happy release to the brilliant Tom Snowdon, his debut album 'Lonely Tree' is out now. Stream / Buy Vinyl

As an artist he already has an impressive back-catalogue - one album with his first band Lowlakes and two albums with No Mono. In the past, Snowdon’s work has centred on hazy atmospheres, and in expressing emotions via metaphors of elemental forces - water, ice, air and light. His affinity with nature is still present on Lonely Tree, but here we see Snowdon ruminating in a more direct way, offering glimpses into a more personal story. With one eye on the past, and another on the “what could have been” (what Snowdon calls ‘the lingering alternative’), he yearns for a stabilising hand to keep him present and hopeful in the here and now, and sends his voice reaching out across broad sonic landscapes to find one. Across its nine songs Lonely Tree is an exploration of loss and hope, of things ending and new things beginning. Led by Snowdon's famously haunting voice, the album is a journey into a dream-like world of the intangible, and one of deeply personal reflection.

Big Scary album number 6, releasing Feb 16.

Introducing 'Wing' https://ffm.to/bs_wing

This album 'Wing' completes the trilogy with 'Daisy' and 'Me and You'. Three albums born out of the fruitful creative times Jo and Tom sporadically shared during 2020/21. A time in which they explored "what is Big Scary?" .... simply “the music made by Jo and Tom, together”.

This simple idea blossomed into a more equal collaboration - sharing songwriting and lyrics more than before, and just the two of them recording the albums in our Collingwood studio BellBird - Tom showed Jo how to engineer using ProTools so that they could track each other’s parts. This became the foundation for outpouring that brought forth 'Daisy' (2021), 'Me and You' (2022), and now 'Wing' (2024) - the final limb that enfolds the trio.
