| Post subject: | Forest Giants - Welcome to the Mid-West |
Cherryade is proud to present its fourth release, the much anticipated new album by Bristol’s own Forest Giants. Forest Giants have an impressive musical heritage, boasting members of Bristol luminaries Blue Aeroplanes and the legendary Beatnik Filmstars who recorded 5 Peel sessions. Despite these formidable credentials, Forest Giants create a sound that is all their own, lovely bittersweet pop songs lyrically dealing with subject matter as diverse as beards and ufos. Their live shows and previous releases have earned them acclaim and airplay from all quarters. In 2004 they were invited to record a live session for Gideon Coe’s 6 Music show. Welcome to the Mid West is due for release on Cherryade on May 8th. It follows on from 2003 ‘Closure’ EP, the 2004 In Sequence LP and 2005’s ‘UFO Stories’ EP and most recently their critically acclaimed download single ‘Planes Fly Overhead’ (CHY003) which was released on Cherryade in March and which is taken from the new album, and is their poppiest work to date.

It’s almost effortless.’ (Collective Zine) ‘I really rather like this. A big old bag of noisiness with fuzzy guitars and big drums making a right racket’ (Tasty) ‘Theirs is a superior blend of fuzzy guitar, only as many chords as is absolutely necessary, a super-pop disco beat and the overall sound of a band who were listening outside the door of Stereolab’s early recording sessions You have one delectable musical treat’ 10/10 (Culture Deluxe) ‘Lo-fidelity in its’ highest possible echelon’ (Vanity Project) ‘Fuzzy, melodic indie pop, ‘Planes Fly Overhead’ feels almost lost in time and is well worth checking out’ (CD Times) ‘A huge hulking fuzz of reverb, brilliantine keyboards and faintly hazy guitars anchored only by some staccato Fall riffs and the pacy throb of a bassline’ (In Love With These Times) www.cherryademusic.co.uk www.myspace.com/cherryade |
