The fact that they aren’t better known is a crime because they’re the most exciting band around.

The reflection in their lyrics allows Big Wows' production to roam freely through worlds of pop and dance, anchored yet escapist.

Big Wows is shot through with glittery bounce and buzzing synth lines, each melody drowned out by anticipation of the next.

The combination of their voices, the variety of sounds they whip up, and the skill with which they put it all together adds up to an ecstatic, sleek, fun, and endlessly entertaining album that works perfectly as an antidote to the sterility of much of the modern pop it emulates and ultimately puts to shame.

This certainly isn’t the first album dedicated to the digital universe and it won’t be the last. But Big Wows provides its own relevant input to the conversation of its ever-evolving culture.

The resulting LP is a success in that it breaks new ground for the band, yet with all of its pop grandeur, Big Vow [sic] still leaves us feeling like the girls have yet to hit their true creative stride. Perhaps their best work is yet to come.

The band’s strongest assets - three fantastic vocalists in Rebecca Hawley, Emily Lansley and Lucy Mercer, and a focus on tight bass-and-drum grooves - are ever present, but there’s enough sugar in ‘Big Wows’ to make even the sweetest tooth ache.

They seem really fucking cool tbh.
Their music though? Yeah, I did not like this.
This is synth pop at its most basic and repetitive. There wasn't songs here, it felt closer to a long stream of Nyquil inspired sounds. The best moment on this was easily the closing track, Heartbeats. It is probably the most minimalistic song on the album and it takes me nowhere, just like the rest of the album, but sometimes less is more, and less bad is certainly better.

If you're a fan of The Naked & Famous, then this album is right up your alley.
This is an album and band that shouldn't slip under your radar this year.
Big Wows was definitely a well-made album with additional sprinkle of fun and heart to it. Check them out!

Big Wows is straightforward synth-pop fun
