Description

"While they sound only remotely like any of the famous San Francisco bands of yore, Big Light frontman Fred Trophy says that, when pressed up against a wall to describe Big Light's big rock sound, he'll often use the term psychedelic."

"'We're experimental, but we also like to keep things tight, songwriting-wise,' says Trophy. 'Maybe that's where our love for Jeff Tweedy shines through.' Quick to shoot down any actual Wilco comparison, Trophy says that Big Light is more directly influenced by the songwriting of Dire Straits, the arrangements of The Sea & Cake, and the sensibilities of Stephen Malkmus than the artists that people frequently lump them with. And even those references he'll only offer after being shaken down for them."
