Tuff 'N Stuff

Giantess

unsigned/ Bo Flex

WE SAY

This is Boston-based Giantess' lead single from a forthcoming EP which they will self-releasing in US through Bo Flex Music early next year. From the same stable as Passion Pit (who we featured back in September to a great response), they combine cheerful 80's synth-pop with a fantastic vocal, leading some blogs to compare their sound to Chromeo. This is typical of a wealth of fresh and interesting music coming our way from the US in 2009. Ayad Al-Adhamy from Passion Pit produced it and is co-founder of the label. Giantess are available for records, publishing and booking for US and Europe. JF
