The Big Pink are Robertson “Robbie” Furze and Vicky Jean Smith (and formerly of Milo Cordell), two electronic rock duo from London and signed to no other than the independent record label 4AD. With five singles and two full length album A Brief History of Love (2009) and Future This (2012), this British band is ready to rock Asia on March 15th 2014 in Singapore. So we asked Robbie a little about their future records and catch a bit of whats left from their last updates before seeing them live next month.

London is a big place for all music genres to live. Why do you choose electronic rock as your main sounds?
We didn’t really choose any sort of sound it just can you sounding like that.

If you could collaborate with one of the artist in Mosaic, who would you choose to work with? And if you are to pick one song that is totally opposite from the music of The Big Pink to perform at the festival, what would it be?
I don’t really know any of the other bands playing at mosaic but I’m excited to listen to some new music. Light Asylum Shallow Tear - I love this song and would love to cover it and will one day.

Tell us about the upcoming album that you are working on. How does it sound? And is the process working on the new album similar to the last two?
It is the most honest music I have ever made. I have fallen into a creative love affair with a producer called dave mc craken he produced ian brown solo records. I hated the recording process of the second record and I love this process.

So, you’re in New York and working with some cool indie acts such as The Drums, Andrew Wyatt and Supreme Cuts, so tell us more about this. Will producing be your main project or it’s just a side project to distract yourself?
I actually haven’t worked with the drums they are called the drum totally different. some of the sessions will be used on the record and ill use for other stuff. andrew wyatt is one of the most amazing artist i have ever worked with.

Do you enjoy making music in a studio or doing live performance?
You got to have a mix of both, x
