Big Scary - Vacation (2011)

I took some time to review this album, however, everybody should at least give a try to it. This Melbourne-based duo has released 7 Eps before Vacation, their debut. Due to the amount of singles and Eps, the band’s sonority ranges from indie-rock ballads (“Mix Tape”, “Purple”) piano-driven melodies (“Of Desire”, “Falling Away”) and my favourite: slow core, in which they provided amazing and minimalist compositions, such as “Leaving Home”, “Bad Friends”, and the outstanding “Got it, Lost it”. A remarkable and unprecedented album, proving that it’s possible to compose a nice and round work with simple songs and melodies.
