Song of the Day: The Big Pink - "Dominos"

Hailing from Britain, The Big Pink is an electro-rock duo who's music is fairly laid back while being pretty emotionally charged. "Dominos" brings to mind some minor 90's hits like the Butthole Surfer's "Pepper" and Primitive Radio Gods' "Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand". It is an excellent sound they've created, the chilly video only providing the cold delivery of the singer's words - "These girls fall like dominos". UK-born, LA-based DJ Switch has taken the song and shattered it, using only the pieces that broke appealingly in his glitchy and twisted mix. As a normal dance BPM would make the poignant words of the track sound ridiculous, Switch slows it down just long enough for The Big Pink to chant it out a few times before whipping things back into a mental frenzy. Good stuff.
