Bingo Fury - Big Rain (Official Video)
Bingo Fury music is a masterwork in atmosphere. Littered with monochrome characters in hazy settings, Bingo Fury conjures a glitzy - altogether seedy - Broadway sheen with introductory single ‘Big Rain’ released via Ra-Ra Rok Records.
The closing-time cabaret of ‘Big Rain’ starts as a sombre, noir piano ballad, telling an indistinct tale of alienation on a Bristol street in his hometown. But the haze soon lifts, giving way to a ramshackle swing as Bingo surrenders to a cocky self-assuredness - ‘I can be anything … Words as stark as they ought to be / You think you do / You don’t pray for me.’
The track was produced by John Parish (PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding, Dry Cleaning) at J&J Studios in Bingo’s home city of Bristol. Much of the Bingo Fury project was conceived on early-hour walks around Bristol during the first lockdown. Suddenly bereft of its dynamic culture, Bingo saw a blank canvas where he could play out his internal monologues. The music video is similarly unsettling: entirely unpredictable, coming to light from lurking in the shadows.
