Robertson “Robbie” Furze and Milo Cordell started working together as The Big Pink in 2008, taking their name from The Band ‘s debut album, Music from Big Pink . Furze used to play guitar for Alec Empire and run the record label Hate Channel with Cordell. Cordell (son of Denny Cordell and brother of Tarka Cordell ) had also been releasing records through his own label Merok Records, which featured early noise rock releases by Klaxons , Titus Andronicus , and Crystal Castles . After joining forces in mid-2007, the band issued their first single ” Too Young to Love ” on 7″ vinyl in October 2008 on the House Anxiety label. The single was limited to 500 copies worldwide, and features a homoerotic photograph by Dennis Cooper as its cover. Similarly, a limited edition 12″ single for “Too Young to Love” released only in Japan features more of Cooper’s photography as its cover.
