Giantess – Tuff ‘n Stuff
Who
Giantess: chirpy orchestral electro pop, from Boston. No, not Passion Pit. Giantess! They are in fact produced by Ayad Al-Adhamy of the Passionate Pit, and you can definitely hear it.
What
They’re yet to be released officially single Tuff n Stuff is a cracker. There’s so much going on that it really merits repeated listening to appreciate it. I’ll admit it straight out, there’s a lot of bleeps and electro twitches in the intro which will make some people come out in hives, but the swelling spector-esque production really does sound fresh
Why
Because they’re not just the next passion pit, who were the next, who? MGMT? Boring! The band’s apparently diverse influences mark Giantess out as more than a one trick pony, and the intensity of the lead vocalist swaying from near Smooth Criminal era Michael Jackson to the dreamy falsetto of Amazing Baby or ok, Passion Pit gives the tune some depth, when combined with the strong synths, pumping guitar and bleeps which come up over the hook
There’s no video that i can locate as yet, so here’s a weird one that some blokes made in their bedroom:
