German Art-Pop band Giant Rooks release their debut album, ‘Rookery’. The album is set to be Giant Rooks definitive statement as a band so far. Blending their disparate influences into one distinct sound, it incorporates the story-telling vibe of Bob Dylan, the dream-like soundscapes of Bon Iver, the upbeat indie-rock of Bombay Bicycle Club and the concise production stylings of Kanye. Coming across like a more ragged version of Tame Impala, lead single ‘What I Know is all Quicksand’ finds the band breaking away in new directions. Louder, freer and at times angrier than their previous singles, ‘What I Know…’ is a widescreen vision of a nightmare, with the lyrics taking a surrealist turn and exploring the protagonist’s headspace.
