Rise Up And Be Thankful

CD £5.99

September 8, 2008

BIGFINN make "diverse, cinematic, lyrical, art school rock", sometimes by themselves and sometimes with help from a few of the biggest names in Manchester's musical community. "It's easy to be dazzled by BIGFINN's list of friends, but the most striking thing about their sound is that it sounds like all their own work – and impressive work it is too. Following the same path of dark cinematic soul that Barry Adamson walks, it is thrillingly sumptuous music for films unmade and has the potential to make them just as well known as their collaborators."
Chris Long, BBC Manchester
