Description

German Art-Pop band Giant Rooks release their debut album, Rookery. The album is set to be Giant Rooks definitive statement as a band so far. Blending their disparate influences into one distinct sound, it incorporates the story-telling vibe of Bob Dylan, the dream-like soundscapes of Bon Iver, the upbeat indie-rock of Bombay Bicycle Club and the concise production stylings of Kanye. Coming across like a more ragged version of Tame Impala, lead single What I Know is all Quicksand finds the band breaking away in new directions. Louder, freer and at times angrier than their previous singles, What I Know is a widescreen vision of a nightmare, with the lyrics taking a surrealist turn and exploring the protagonists headspace.
