Following on from the rousing response to their breakthrough debut album ‘Don’t Mind If I Do’, indie-rock troubadours Big Slice are back once again to unveil their shimmering new single ‘Could Be Wrong’, produced by Nainesh Shah of Flotation Toy Warning.
Channelling a warm and effervescent nod to the vibrant Britpop sound, ‘Could Be Wrong’ sees them return with a beautifully welcoming delight. With its glittering guitar hooks and upbeat demeanour running the pace behind this new offering, the group are looking forward to making the months ahead their most memorable to date.
Speaking about the new release, they describe it as, “That moment when you realise a relationship has gone forever and you are to blame but the only way to deal with it is to have a great time getting out of it.”
ABOUT BIG SLICE
Songwriting brothers Andy & Dave Macleod made their first foray into the music industry when The Office creator Ricky Gervais managed their fledgling group The Pointy Birds, which led to recording sessions and gigs alongside Britpop luminaries such as Suede and Echobelly. This fleeting brush with fame and celebrity eventually became the basis for the best selling memoir and live show Anoint My Head. Bandmate Andy recently generated a buzz from the likes of The Telegraph, The Sun & The Scotsman for his Edinburgh Festival comedy show in which he reflects on this point in their career.
Thereafter Andy & Dave teamed up with French drummer Guillaume Boisselet, guitarist Sean Phillips and Phil ‘The Albino Priest’ Ward – on loan from highly acclaimed electronic music act Lo Fidelity Allstars – to form Big Slice.
Combining classic pop tunes with soaring guitars, reflective lyrics and a dash of psychedelic Moog keyboard they released their first album Don’t Mind If I Do in 2020. Mastered by Chris Hornsby of Modern Hinterland and released by legendary indie veterans Label Fandango, the finely crafted songs took inspiration from a range of pop and alt rock acts such as Echo & the Bunnymen, Happy Mondays, Daft Punk, Kate Bush, Pavement, Blur and The Human League.
Follow up album ‘One For The Road’ was recorded in London across 2022 with production and additional vocals from Nainesh Shah of Flotation Toy Warning. Featuring more vintage pop songwriting it expanded on the original Big Slice sound with trademark angular guitars and synthetic dreamscape sounds. The album received support from the head of Fierce Panda Records (Coldplay, Keane, Death Cab For Cutie), who describe it as “…a mini-collection of psych rock nuggets cycling around your hapless noggin, riddled with guitaring jangles and cosmic melodic tangles.”
