Big Scary Monsters

Big Scary Monsters is an independent label based in Oxford, UK. Founded in 2001 by Kevin Douch, the label has become a prominent figure in the music industry. As part of the Pink Mist collective, Big Scary Monsters has established itself as a force to be reckoned with.

With a diverse roster of talented *artists* and *performers*, Big Scary Monsters continues to push boundaries and challenge conventions. The label prides itself on supporting emerging talent and providing a platform for artists to express themselves freely.

From punk rock to indie pop, Big Scary Monsters offers a wide range of genres for music enthusiasts. With their commitment to quality and passion for music, it's no wonder that Big Scary Monsters has gained a loyal following over the years.

Big Scary Monsters are thrilled to announce the release of Talons latest album, New Topographics.   The album takes its name from the photography exhibition "New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape", that took place in January 1975; created almost as a reaction to more idealised landscape photography, the exhibition featured images reflecting the uniform and banal, casting a sharp critical eye on modern suburbia.  The music Talons have created for their latest offering is very much inspired by these notions and serves to act as a soundtrack to the imposing conformity of life in 21st century cities.   Reflecting a change in mood and tempo from previous material, the band have incorporated a stronger neo-classical influence, as well as employing a much more rhythmic and expansive sound, heightening their emphasis on the dynamic range of the music, with a particular focus on the use of repetition and atmospherics.  The album was recorded in July of last year with long time collaborator Tom Woodhead (iForward Russia!) at Greenmount Studies, Leeds; a facility situated within an old church, which in turn provided the optimum atmosphere for the commanding orchestral sound of their latest work.
