Shocking Pinks, once a band from New Zeland now just a solo project, have recently signed up for DFA. Three albums and some singles published during the naughties with no international success made them think that the first releases for LCD's label should be a compilation of the best moments published before. And the way to do it was no other than for EPs (three 7' and one 12') published in just one month (one per week)before the publication of the album called just Shocking Pinks. They are a limited edition of 500 each, they say we believe, and the packaging is just the same picture in a shocking pink color with combinations of blue, orange, green or red for each single. The B sides, some of them better than the A sides, are not going to appear in the record so hurry up if you want to get them.
It is not a classic DFA band, no dance rock moments but shoegazing emotions of late eighties first nineties inspiration (Ride, Slowdive, Pastels, Vaselines...)mixing noisy fast melodies with quiet peaceful passages.
