When you need to go BIG, you can always count on Big Gigantic. The boys in white, saxman/producer Dom Lalli and drummer Jeremy Salken, have taken it upon themselves to expand the musical scope of the Big G aesthetic as far and wide as they can. The Night Is Young covers trap, dubstep, and now nu-disco, with the album's title track. Calling on their buddies Cherub to step in for some funky vocal support, the resulting jam is fresh as fuck, with a bouncy feel and a kneecap-bustin' halftime breakdown. And that saxwork--impeccable, as always. New tour dates have made the rounds, which put Big G at the top of CounterPoint, Spring Awakening, and (their first) Coachella bills.
