Event information
Hunting down the elusive Nordic Giants is about as easy as tracking down the truth of the legend in the Blair Witch Project. Hidden behind feathered masks, demonic looking costumes and effortlessly changing between many instruments, nobody is fully aware of their true identity and their ritualistic pre show preparations of body paintings, donning feathered masks and animal skins is nothing short of shamanistic.
The mysterious duo perform live soundtracks to a backdrop of award winning short films which do not shy away from dealing with poignant and dark subject matters. Dreamy ambient swells, epic builds and huge moments of power overwhelm their captivated audiences who describe the experience as something akin to a religious experience.
Influenced by the likes of Massive Attack and Cinematic Orchestra, the Brighton based post-rock duo have already shared the stage with Lamb, Ratatat, Mogwai, Alt-J and recently supported God Is A Astronaut in their 10th anniversary sell out show in London.
The band are currently writing and recording their debut album 'Do not drop anchor here' . Their new single 'Speed the Crows Nest' is released on February 17th, accompanying a brand new live show featuring guest vocalists.
