Big Pink promise to record hip-hop album

The Big Pink have claimed that their next album will be a hip-hop record.

The 'Dominos' band told NME that they hope to take on the genre in their own way on the Paul Epworth-produced follow-up to 2009's A Brief History of Love

Multi-instrumentalist Milo Cordell said: "A lot of white, middle-class bands say, ‘We’re going to make a hip-hop record’, but we’re actually going to do it."

He suggested that the band would retain their own identity "in the same way that Massive Attack or Tricky or Portishead are hip-hop in their own way".
