Giant Day Share Ignore the Flood
Up until now, it felt very much like you could hear the Elephant 6 lineage in the earliest work from Giant Day, the new project from Derek Almstead (Olivia Tremor Control, Elf Power, etc) and Emily Growden. Their latest single and video completely turn the tables, however, pushing this proto-pop, brimming with a buoyant bass line that builds in a bob for the listener. But, Almstead’s expertise as a multi-instrumentalist allows him to create this pop quilt, whether that’s carefully bent guitar lines or synthetic notes that aid in the driving rhythm. Still, you’ll be seduced by Growden’s delivery, smoothly sliding her softened sound right in the midst of the musical melodies, bewildering the listener with the story of the Johnstown flood of 1889! Their debut, Glass Narcissus, will be out July 25th via Elephant 6 Recording Co.
