Big Special announce a ‘companion piece’ to their two studio records.

Big Special will release a 10-track EP entitled O’JOY! on June 5th and are previewing it with the single ‘ONLY FREE WHEN SLEEPING’.

“This new record is made of all the fallen parts of our first two albums,” the duo have said.

We picked them up and took them back to the studio to rework and play with them to make them into their own piece of work that reflects upon what we have done so far. The songs that didn’t fit in the right place at the right time.

“Including songs that, at the time, might’ve made the albums too long and lean too far into a darker tone, where we wanted to keep the balance of an emotional journey, like watching a movie with your eyes closed.”
