You could be quite mean with The Big Moon’s name. Like, mooning? Big mooning? Bums? Yeah? But we’d not do that, because The Big Moon are great, and not at all like a flashed hairy bottom.
Exhibit A of their greatness? We’ve already had that. And B. Probably C too. As we hurtle towards the bottom of the alphabet the B-side to new single ‘Cupid’ shouldn’t be ignored, though.
‘Something Beautiful’ is a woozy bosa swing that shouldn’t work, but does. Rather than cheesy, it ends up both sort-of-romantic, comforting and unsettling at the same time. If the mark of a great band is releasing great B-sides, The Big Moon are capital-b-Brilliant.
