Big Deal is Kacey Underwood and Alice Costelloe, an American boy and British girl bringing together electric fuzz and acoustic sheen, ambitious songs riddled with ambivalent lyrics of adult compromise and teen angst. They both sing, they both write, and they both play live, creating a tender, razor sharp noise. In the summer of 2010, they got tired of plugging things in, wearing ear plugs and waiting around. They then decided to start a band together, and with that, commenced writing and recording in their bedrooms.
The result is a clutch of songs that are structurally sparse as they are emotively rich, sweet and seductive as they are jagged.. This is woozy, magical bedroom rock, understated and discreet music for the early hours, at once beautiful and alarming.
Big Deal recently signed to Mute, through which they will release a full-length album in the summer.
