Melbourne duo Big Scary is the proud recipient of the 9th Annual Australian Music Prize, a prestigious award dedicated to recognizing excellence in Australian music (similar to Britain's Mercury Prize and Canada's Polaris Prize). They collected the award for their sophomore release, Not Art, at a ceremony in Sydney. Not Art was deemed to be the best of this year's nominees by a panel of 11 judges, after paring down a shortlist of 9 records from the original 43 selections that included Cloud Control, Jagwar Ma and other notable Australian artists. Not Art is scheduled for US release on March 25, 2014 via Barsuk Records.
“The band have reinvented their sound with lush new sonic experimentation - each track is wrapped in emotive and enchanting harmonies and perfectly matched percussion, culminating in a record that gets better with every listen.” - Triple J  
“Big Scary never repeat themselves and Not Art is an intriguing sonic adventure.” - Sydney Morning Herald
“Twin Rivers” debuted at #10 on the Spotify viral chart. The song appears both on Not Art and the recently released digital-only Twin Rivers EP, which included remixes by The Antlers, Menomena and Dan The Automator and was also included on Australia’s Triple J Hottest 100 of the year.
Not Art has been embraced widely in the band’s native Australia charting high on the Aria Charts (Australia’s version of Soundscan) and selling over 5000 albums in the first few weeks and it won the Australian Music Prize’s Album of the Year award.
Recorded and produced by Big Scary's own Iansek, and mixed by Grammy Award-winner Tom Elmhirst (Arcade Fire, Hot Chip, Lily Allen, Adele, Black Keys, Amy Winehouse, The Kills).    
Big Scary will be on tour supporting Say Hi in April and May, hitting every major market in the country.  Contact us for any requests!
