Big Suspicious is the first full-length studio album from American rock trio band Wild Adriatic released in 2014. It was funded through fan support through PledgeMusic, reaching its goal of $11,000 on December 3, 2013.[1] It has generated two official music videos for Lonely and Mess Around.
History
[edit]The band recorded the album while living together for several weeks in a studio in Argyle, New York. The band chose to self-record the album, with Gray engineering and mixing the songs. The official CD release party took place January 18 in Albany, NY. The performance was filmed for an as of yet unreleased live DVD.[2]
Critical reception
[edit]Big Suspicious has been called 'vintage' rock with its "meaty guitar riffs, organ, tambourine and cowbell. Soaring vocals, infectious hooks. This is the stuff that was designed to move a party and still does."[3]
