Big Deal - Lights Out
Mixed gender duets (especially over limited instrumentation) can generally go one of two ways: either charming (Slow Club) or trying (Ting Tings). Luckily, London-based Big Deal fall into the earlier category. Led by 18-year old Alice Costelloe and assisted by Kacey Underwood, the pair play opposing guitars while their singing complements each other as they yearn for something fulfilling out of life. Whatever the backdrop, there’s a tender, emotional side to the songwriting that manages to never feel fake. Indeed, it’s that sincerity that is probably Lights Out’s most endearing quality. A charming debut that rips at the heart.
