Dig Deeper:

There's something steady but explosive about London's The Big Pink. The band has compressed 50 years of loveless and lovelorn rock and roll into a sometimes unsettled but frequently tender circle. They're a truly modern pop group - seamlessly, the band melds folkish and warm melodies, the spiritual tranquility of soul and gospel, the rhythmic propulsion of rave, the white noise of punk, the glitchy textures of electronica, and the heavy drones of your favorite New York rock bands for a sound that's both distant and utterly familiar.

But above and beyond it all, they sing about love: "Love for everything," they proclaim. They call what they do "Armageddon love songs," a neat way of describing their sinister-sweet ruminations on the subject. "If there's an underbelly of depression," they say, "we sugar-coat it."

The video for "Dominos" was directed by Tim Saccenti and shot on a soundstage in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Thousands of pounds of female-shaped ice were hauled in, only to be exploded by a grizzled movie pyro-expert called Waldo. The band took cover in their dressing room while shards of fragmented ice-women flew around the set.
