Live performance is the cornerstone of Nordic Giants’ musical vision. The Brighton-based pair describe their gigs as “a visceral experience that goes beyond the normal descriptors” and their intriguing combination of short film and accompanying music is one that moves the duo far away from the typical gig experience. The unusual audiovisual performance is added to by the mystery surrounding the identity of the pair and most gigs feature the artists shrouded in mist to send this message home.
Their music is best described as atmospheric, although electro and rock vibes reverberate across several tracks. With no vocalist among the duo the attention to the layered and complex instrumental sound is paramount. However, their collaborations with other vocalists are where the sound of Nordic Giants really works, the combination easily believable as featuring in the UK Charts.
With a newly released double EP, York will be the eighth consecutive show in a UK wide tour for Nordic Giants. Challenging the typical gig you would come upon in York, it’s sure to be an experience a little out of the ordinary and one, surely, not to be missed.
