Giant Killers, the indie-pop band comprised of songwriting duo Jamie Wortley and Michael Brown, presents their long-awaited debut album, Songs for the Small Places. Bursting with nostalgic 90s soundscapes and old-school synth riffs, the album is a testament to the bandโs enduring creativity and musical prowess.
The journey begins with โAround The Blocks,โ a jangly and upbeat track that sets the tone for the album. With infectious energy and engaging vocals, the song invites listeners to embark on a sonic adventure filled with catchy melodies and heartfelt storytelling.
In โBilly the Kid,โ Giant Killers deliver a reflective anthem that resonates with contemplative lyrics and enchanting guitar chiming. The immersive spacey vibe transports listeners to a nostalgic realm of old times and high streets.
โFor The Moneyโ captivates with its anthemic vibe and thumping drums that ground the songโs gritty guitars. Beneath the upbeat rock rhythms lies a deeper message, as the singer passionately reflects on the complexities of work and purpose with the refraining chorus, โI work in a factory/I do it for the money.โ
The albumโs closing track, โFor the Small Places,โ serves as an epilogue with its soothing and melodic strings. Clocking in at just 52 seconds, the track leaves a lasting impression, offering a moment of reflection and introspection.
Giant Killersโ three-decade journey to get Songs for the Small Places out redefines dedication to all of us.
Having opened for Blur and toured with Dr Robert and Nick Heyward amidst other tours and gigs, Giant Killers have remained steadfast in their musical journey.
