Nordic Giants announce debut LP, stream "Rapture" exclusively on Best Fit
Nordic Giants - comprising shrouded duo Loki and Roka - have been truckin' forth for yonks, but it's only now that they're about to deliver a debut long-player.
It's called, quite gothically, A Séance Of Dark Delusions, and it's set for a 6 April release on Kscope.
The kind post-rocking souls that they are, the band have have also unfurled the lead single, "Rapture", featuring the vocal stylings of Beth Cannon.
In true Nordic Giants fashion, they sweep you off of your feet with monolithic walls of noise. It's wholly dramatic, operatic rock, veering away from focal electronics that other post-rock acts have veered towards in recent years, with the group opting instead for torrents of strings, chiming keys, Gatling gun-percussion, waves of distortion and a plethora of embellished sounds. They don't just create music to sink into, or aural pleasures to get lost in, Nordic Giants summon a whole new world to transport you to, and they've no intention of letting you leave.
The album will be on sale digitally, as a CD/DVD package (including the Nordic Giants digital mapping experience and bonus content), and also as a gatefold LP. It features guest spots from Saturday Sun, Nadine Wild Palmer, Freyja, and, obviously, Beth Cannon.
