Giant Rooks – Wild Stare
One of the very first recommendations on this blog was for New Estate by Giant Rooks. This was the title track of their second EP. Since then, the German indie band β whose members are all only in their early 20βs β played a lot of festivals, but they didnβt release any new music. Until nowβ¦
Wild Stare is the bandβs new single. A catchy song, tightly built around Frederik Rabeβs characteristic voice. A song that will certainly do well during their βWild Stare Tourβ, which will bring them to Great-Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland and Germany in April and May 2019. Around that time, theyβll also release their debut album.
Giant Rooksβs musical influences give away what you may expect: timeless British and American alternative pop, a hint of folk, a touch of electronics, driving rhythms and catchy vocal lines.
