Big Reef are curious people. The pair shroud everything they do in an inpenetrable cloud of sarcasm, absurdity and irreverence. But at the centre of that cloud lies a suite of strong, disarming, fully-realised, unique, contemporary pop songs, finessed and crafted almost to a point of dissonance when juxtaposed against their online and on-stage antics ...and that's kind of the point of it all. As Big Reef, Morgan and Hayden Quinn employ a broad palette of musical and production motifs borrowed from the new-wave and post-punk scenes of the 1980s, funneling them into modern contemporary indie-pop songs. The pairs’ writing process is studio-based and explorative, resulting in production-focused songwriting: written and produced simultaneously from behind the mixing desk rather than in the rehearsal room. Big Reef present a collection of music that is tonally diverse, but presented within a window of discourse that is stylistically firm and familiar.
