]]> Among Giants, from Orlando, Florida, have a sound somewhere between Paul Baribeau’s singalong strumming and the urgent folky punk of Defiance, Ohio. It’s a genre that I really enjoy but don’t come across to often; a carefree abandonment of heavy production and intricate arrangements in favour of descriptive, plain speaking lyrics and good old-fashioned energy and feeling.

This isn’t to say that the album is sloppy or thrown together, it’s quite the contrary. Over a year in the making, Truth Hurts is a well put together album of admirable variety. There is some shouting (‘There is a Ghost’), some emotion (‘A Letter’) and some sounds that would fit nicely on the soundtrack of Tony Hawk 2 (‘The Pond’). In other words, all the things you could want in an album.

Truth Hurts is available on a pay-what-you-want basis over at the Among Giants Bandcamp page. I’m sure a small donation would be very much appreciated.

We are going to release this in two parts, roughly split into day and night. Hopefully, once you get both parts they can be played from start to finish and encapsulate the whole duration of a summer’s day in 50(ish) songs. We’ll go from bright morning to hot glorious day in Part I and then to campfire evening and weird night in Part Two. We’ve tried to include new stuff […]

]]> Yes, we are finally joining in the summer mixtape fun. We are going to release this in two parts, roughly split into day and night.
