Description
Nordic Giants - New to Kscope - The 2013 self released EPs available in one package.
Nordic Giants, the latest band to join the Kscope roster, have spent the last couple of years bringing their bespoke formula of claustrophobic post-rock cinematic sound to audiences across the UK.
Ahead of the debut album coming in early 2015, Kscope will be releasing Nordic Giants' 2013 self-released EPs "Build Seas" & "Dismantle Suns" packaged together in a digi sleevepac on November 17th.
'Build Seas', includes the current single 'Violent Lights' featuring soaring vocals from the visceral Alex Hedley (Saturday Sun). The further 3 tracks are spine-tingling, from electronic riffs, to epic trumpets, rousing drums and the dreamy vocals of featured artist Freyja. 'Dismantle Suns' ep, features vocalist Alyusha from The Boxettes on the track 'Little Bird'.
Seeing Nordic Giants has been likened a religious experience. Equal part art installation and band, they are anonymous behind their extravagant feather and bone masques, smoke and strobe lights. Nordic Giants unleash cinematic euphoria, saturated with swelling ambience, pounding drums, epic builds and massive riffs as they switch instruments and guests float in and out of the stage with each performance accompanied by award-winning short films.
The band has recently toured with Public Service Broadcasting, God Is An Astronaut & 65daysofstatic and appeared at a number festivals this Summer including 2000 Trees, Kendal Calling & Y-Not as well as their own headline shows. They have performed in churches, disused Victorian music halls and converted seaside bandstands to enhance the audience experience of their atmospheric soundscapes.
Build Seas, Dismantle Suns is evocative with moments of almost unbridled euphoria, delicate wistfulness and apocalyptic portents awaiting the listener.
