GIANT CROW spent almost ten years of their musical history as RAINDANCE KID before taking to the skies under their new name to discover something new. Rain dances don’t seem very appropriate in Hamburg, but crows can be found more and more in populated areas. They circle above highway intersections and garbage incinerators, are guests at morning carnivals and closing marketplaces.
In the form of a gigantic crow, they now appear not far from where RAINDANCE KID left off. The music is more resolute, more aware of the great role models, without losing the joy of experimentation of the early days.
With the album IN THE CUT, GIANT CROW have achieved a genre-balancing act that is more than just a successful and convincing experiment. Knee-deep in country noir, GIANT CROW hatches a feverish sound between pulp, pomp and poetry that is both technically virtuosic and ironic enough to allow the listener to relax in the beautiful baroque post-rock chaise longue.
IN THE CUT is a neo-western, theatrical, full of self-confident pathos, poetic and personal. And that’s just the beginning.
