led by gifted singer / songwriters alex craig and ian drennan, big troubles are that rare beast: a band with two distinctive musical voices that smoothly mesh to create one integrated personality. their first album 'worry' (2010) and its attendant singles were excellent fuzz-pop records in their own right, but to make their new lp, the band brought in the legendary mitch easter, whose resume includes stone-cold classics from the likes of rem, pavement and his own let's active. with easter's expert engineering help, romantic comedy is a masterpiece of modern pop; a perfect balance of grit and polish, gorgeous guitar sounds and angelic vocals, underpinned by a set of superb songs. the album kicks off with 'she smiles for pictures,' a brilliant slice of jangle-pop marked by an ear-tugging guitar lead and gorgeous choirboy vocals. 'misery' is a perfect two-and-a-half minutes of teen angst, fired by a huge bassline and echoed, chorused riffs that are as much '90s brit pop as they are '00s indie rock. first single 'sad girls' is a lovely slice of updated power-pop based on a catchy stop-start verse that gives way to an indelible, spiraling chorus; this tune is as big and bright as they come. 'you'll be laughing' gears down for a nuanced meditation on suburban ennui, showing that this band has more up its collective sleeve than just kicking out pop anthems. and so the record continues, through sure-fire entries into the noise-pop canon like the boo radleys-esque 'minor keys,' the lovely rush of 'softer than science' and the glam-tinged feedback-fest that is 'time bomb.' big troubles have that very rare combination of taste, skill and talent, and aided by mr easter's recording acumen, they've created a virtually perfect modern pop album - one that tips its hat to choice bits of pop past and present, while at the same time delivering something totally fresh. on slumberland.
