Happy album release day to the unstoppable Big Scary, their 6th LP ‘Wing’ is out now. Very happy listening Xx.
LISTEN HERE
Sonically, space and ideas are lingered upon, allowed to stretch out. Synths that pulse and shimmer, reassuring electric guitar riffs, and “vibe-sparkles” are the signature sounds across the collection.
Currently living at opposite ends of the earth, with Jo in central Victoria and Tom in London, Big Scary’s next live dates will be somewhere in the future. A vinyl pressing will also be a future endeavour, as the band have rushed to get the digital album released before Jo releases a baby this year! Fans can expect vinyl and tour dates to be revisited in the *hopefully* not too distant future.
Btw I am so sorry I keep bringing up the Zelda game but at this point it is literally all I think about. The MAIN REASON I started playing the horse game is I had milked every Zelda I owned completely dry of content and needed something to give me back that sense of adventure and wonder and tide me over until the next Zelda. And now there's (almost) a next Zelda???? No fucking WAY am I shutting up about it.
Being social and making plans to meet people is all fun and games until it hits how much socialising you have ahead of you in the next weeks and you start stressing out about it.
my god i have that same problem. like i can convince myself that that creepypasta shit isn’t real, no one’s actually going to kill me, but once i’m home alone or it’s dark out it’s like *one fear*
also i first saw that jtk image when i was like ten. and bc i was that young it is now burned into my head forever. it used to scare me a lot more than it does now, and my friend did not fucking help by showing me the picture even though she knew i was scared of it
Saaame I saw it when I was relatively young and even less desensitized to horror content than I am now so it. It didn’t do me any favors. I also just Do Not Like distorted faces, they bother me immensely so that doesn’t help
I know these things aren’t real! There’s not reason they would be! There’s no reason that particular fear would be in my room right this second! But! I am scared!!!
So I'm leaving work and something darts in front of me, maybe 10ft away, too fast for me to see what it is. Peek around the tree blocking my path and I see this
Just like... a whole ass hawk. Dude's gotta be about 1.5ft tall. Massive fucking bird. And it's just staring me straight in my soul like this, even as I try to move ahead. It didn't budge. And there's only this path back to my car unless I want to walk on a busy highway. So I have the option of Death By Raptor or Death By Truck.
So I walk in the poison ivy filled patch off the sidewalk. Guy still isn't moving. Still staring me directly in the eyes. And I do this thing when animals are behaving strangely where I'll talk to them, so I'm just like, "Hey, man. I don't know you. You don't know me. This feels really threatening. I'm just trying to get to my car, dude. Can I get some space please? You're a big fucking bird. I see those claws. You could kill me right now, but I'd appreciate if you didn't, ok?"
It didn't move until I was about 2ft away. Again: I'm as far from it as I can be without walking into the street. It clearly wasn't going to budge. I walk past, thing flies up (silent, btw. Scary) and lands on a brick wall a little further ahead
Anyway. Weird guy. Nearly shit my pants when I noticed a bird big enough to carry off a fully grown cat was just... there, staring me in the face, unwilling to move away from me, a human, something it should see as a threat. I watched behind me the whole rest of the way to my car, just in case this bird decided to help me shed this mortal coil. 10/10 experience. Super cool guy.
This album 'Wing' completes the trilogy with 'Daisy' and 'Me and You'. Three albums born out of the fruitful creative times Jo and Tom sporadically shared during 2020/21. A time in which they explored "what is Big Scary?" .... simply “the music made by Jo and Tom, together”.
This simple idea blossomed into a more equal collaboration - sharing songwriting and lyrics more than before, and just the two of them recording the albums in our Collingwood studio BellBird - Tom showed Jo how to engineer using ProTools so that they could track each other’s parts. This became the foundation for outpouring that brought forth 'Daisy' (2021), 'Me and You' (2022), and now 'Wing' (2024) - the final limb that enfolds the trio.
When were people going to tell me that your inner child can be trauma stuck?
Cause ever since I learned what age regression was and even later actually tried to regress, every time I was in a perpetuating state of fear even though nothing was happening. Until now when I was actually thinking about it and decided to research did I find out that my inner child is trauma stuck as fuck.
