The story of Big Scary begins in Melbourne, Australia, where duo Tom Iansek and Jo Syme, armed with just acoustic guitars and egg shakers, started playing songs together in the living room of Syme's parents' house, gradually working up to a bolder, more expansive sound by incorporating electric guitars, drums, synths and piano. What began as a few rainy day acoustic ballads in their first incarnation soon grew, and before long, the newly named Big Scary were writing anything they pleased - fuzzed-out garage rock; piano-led pop; intricate, pastoral instrumentals - each imbued with an effortless pop sensibility and lightness of touch that would quickly see the duo attract a strong following in their home country. The Melbourne-based duo has become a household name in Australian indie-pop circles and has a growing cult following overseas. Barsuk Records is thrilled to be the U.S. home for the band's forthcoming album Not Art, a slow-burning stunner that distills influences of indie rock song structure, pop and hip-hop production, and experimental ambient music.
