The debut album by British electronica act Giant Swan is meant to be kicking to the shins with a mix of haunting industrial music, machine beats and angular rhythms. They took inspiration from punk music; not so much in terms of sound but especially the punk attitude. The dark sound swallows you. The pair was allowed to play in Berlin clubs like Berghain and Tresor prior to the release of this album.
In their music the duo combines elements from British underground electronics with abrasive riffs and echoing vocals. This creates a very uncanny atmosphere, with which the duo wants to give the listener the chance to lose themselves in their music. (JvQ)more
