Giant Killers recently unveiled a new offering to DSPs, ‘Who Am I Fooling?’. The track brings melancholic vocal performances, energised synth arpeggios and nineties indie guitars. The band continue to reignite everything that brought them a cult follow thirty years ago, catchy melodies still stick, and the balance between light and dark still plays perfectly. It’s uplifting, thoughtful and reflective, striking a chord with the listener from immediately upbeat beginnings to subdued verses to momentous instrumental climaxes.
The band explains their early origins and the story since, “There’s a special kind of delight and a delicious irony in being ‘introduced’ after 30 years – it’s a potent reminder from the universe that good things may come to those who wait. Which in one sense is the principal message in our ‘debut’ album, Songs for the Small Places! With our third single, Who Am I Fooling, we’re touching on themes of regret for opportunities not taken and the hope of future redemption – which is familiar territory for us. We’re hoping to build on our introduction, maybe a firm handshake or even a hug. As ever, we live in hope!”
It’s been an over three-decade fight for Giant Killers’ masters to return to their hands. Their heyday saw them appear at Glastonbury and Hyde Park, climbing the ranks and building a following. Now, they’re firmly back in control unveiling their old releases through a new lens. Truly back on the scene.
