What a long, strange trip it’s been to this moment in music. The headlines are all too familiar – major labels are dying, download this, download that, blahblahblah… All the hubbub over technology and filthy lucre has obscured what is becoming increasingly clear: 2009 may be the best year for music in a decade – a veritable golden age, if you will, captured in a twelve-month period.

The Big Pink started blowing our minds with their previous single, “Velvet,” but “Dominos” (co-produced by amazing studio god Paul Epworth, who’s done killer work for Bloc Party, amongst others) confirms that of all the neo-shoegaze whatever bands, Cordell and Furze have what it takes to be megastars while maintaining their integrity.
