By far the biggest release for the band that year was their full length studio debut “A Brief History of Love”. Within this span of time they put out three singles “Velvet”, “Dominos”, “Stop The World”, a cover of the Cure’s “Lovesong” and the 6 track EP “This Is Our Time”, with two of the cuts featuring a reworking of “Velvet” by Gang Gang Dance and Mount Kimbie. The cover design for the 12” release also contained Cooper’s photography work and the single’s title track received remixes by trip-hop aficionados UNKLE and the spanish dance group Delorean.Ģ009 proved to be a very busy year for the group, but also saw them reap the rewards of their labor. The first pressing was limited to 500 copies and sported a cover design featuring a homoerotic photograph taken by American novelist Denis Cooper. The duo’s first official release as Big Pink, the 7” vinyl “Too Young to Love” came out in 2008 through House Anxiety Records. Separate from their joint efforts Furze acted as the guitarist for the band Alec Empire and Cordell ran his own independent label, Merok Records whose output includes releases from Klaxons, Titus Andronicus, and Crystal Castles. Prior to their band’s formation the two managed the record label Hate Channel. Taking their name from the iconic house where the Band and Bob Dylan recorded some of their most reputable works, the Big Pink formed in 2007 by Robertson “Robbie” Furze and Milo Cordell.
