GIANT SKY II

CD1: "Origin Of The Species (Part 1-6)" solemn symphonic space opener launching "Imposter" with their characteristic, cold, moving, bucolic sound; hold an organ with Marina one of the 3 female voices; one-shot post- rock explosion with thunderous screams reminiscent of SIGUR ROS, for those who only know SOUP; aerial atmosphere for a typical intoxicating and psychedelic solo. "Speak Through Walls" with Hanne and Charlotte on vocals over a minimalist guitar arpeggio; flute of ancient times yes on the Archangel; a melancholic symphonic orchestral variation... of great beauty with tearful violins before the psyche break of the 2030s, maddening cinematic vibrating guitar; Erlend shouts, dark for a Dantesque finale. "Space Farrier" arpeggiates over creation, no less; flute, piano by Ivan and Jonas, synths on Jean-Michel JARRE; well we're going to put on our well-shod boots to wander through the cosmos, an interlude as only Erlend knows how to do, fresh and beautiful in the end who sends "The Present" to settle down from this grandiose escapade; still hovering and a voice-over in the distance. "To The Pensieve" piano and monolithic voice for the seemingly basic title; yes but a few moments later we find ourselves on the rings of a planet spinning at full speed, that's what GIANT SKY is beautiful, astonishing, musically progressive in the firmament. "Dispatch of Species" comes in for the finale with a church organ.

CD2: "Curbing Lights" intro to the second album on a cinematic background, video games, quite rhythmic, still electronic, less intimate, like an opening for "I Am The Night" facsimile of 'Space Farrier' at the start; most of all this musical fluidity on these angelic female voices, sirens from another time; and then there is a climb, one more but on another slope and Nirvana is there in front of you; this crescendic musical explosion makes you melt; the break with metronomic bass brings you back to earth before a surge of Olympian violins makes you shiver, bells, unstructured waves which form a major title with inverted voices. "Birds With Borders" for an intimate melancholy melody, the one you want to keep to yourself; strings, a flute and the schizoid rise made of noises which collide and create the melody, the voices forward guided by the notes; the flute guides you to your left cerebellum the one who thinks that this album is already exceptional. "Tables Turn" with Hans as the sole male voice over a playful dreamlike mid-tempo; the electro-ambient and latent mid-term break on a psychedelic PINK FLOYD, Erlend with his voice which blends with that of Jón from SIGUR ROS, perfection is there; the vibrant ultra-bass outro. "King In Yellow" with this sound of Megaptera and other deities who will save our planet, go review Star Trek; instrumental track torturing your mind, yes GIANT SKY is beyond music. "Seeds" as a Wallian finale, after the crash against the wall; a spatial, cinematic ballad, about an apocalyptic New York 1997 from which the world will not recover, about a new world having understood which side to be on so as not to fall from the branch, choose.
