Thanks for becoming a fan. - The Big I Am "Hypnotic and yearningly beautiful on the splendid Folkwit Records " Tom Robinson, BBC Six Music"The Big I Am is quite a name for a band to live up to. "Collecting Skies" implies garnering something mere mortals can only inspire to, something that pushes the envelope almost beyond breaking point. It's a big album, loud, brash, beautifully arranged and orchestrated. This is an album that comes with a wealth of riches. If it was just an instrumental album, that would be enough for many, but only until you hear the narrative, which is of the quality that it could be delivered in a flat monotone and still hold your interest. An album of many parts, bolted together to perfection." Neil King, fatea Magazine"a debut album of poise, strength and the most vociferous magnificence. The Big I Am sound absolutely confident and joyful in their creativity. Collecting Skies could be the soundtrack to snows melting and spring emerging. Songs open like a new dawn breaking and hang like blossoms from fragile branches of beauty; then they grow and grow until they are bursting at the seams with catharsis. If you listen to this album, be prepared to have your heartstrings plucked and stroked until you ache with joy and any cyisism you harbour is utterly defeated. Be prepared to be lifted." ***** (5 stars) " Eddy Cooney, Rock'n'Reel Magazine WIDGETS (Put our stuff on your web pages and blogs!) |
