Nice soothing songs with a strong bassline and heavy drums. Best thing: Rasseln zum mitspielen!

Giantree - Cascade

Let’s paint our faces so that no one can see the pain.

Giantree celebrate bipolar disorder with lots of colours, lights and silhouettes in the music video for the fourth(?) single of their debut album We All Yell.

Giantree interview / Weekender

When Giantree played at Haus der Musik last weekend, I couldn’t go because I was on tour with another band. (Sorry, I had to bring this up again because it’s just such a cool thing to be able to say.) 
So luckily Giantree stopped by at the Riesenrad Vorplatz in Vienna yesterday and I got to see them live after all. They played a gig on the Brandwagen in the early afternoon. It was windy but good, and also hilarious: When they played Time Loops - you know, the song with that video where people run on a street at night - a group of runners(!!!) stopped to listen.

AUSTRIA: Walzerkönig
GiantreeCommunicate
With past major label experience, the founding members of what is now Giantree found a new home on an indie label, but without denying that what they are doing is pop in capital letters. Their debut album We All Yell comes with synthesizers and catchy hooks. Communicate, a song about fragile beginnings, was a radio hit in Austria.

Giantree: Life Was Young

Giantree, Communicate

Giantree, Communicate. This is a very nice song, and it comes with a very nice video. But I have to admit I’m partial: one of the actors is one of our friend Philohsophia’s friends. In addition, I spent glorious drunken teenage summer nights where parts of the video were shot and thus have fond memories of that place.

Giantree, Time Loops
