Nordic Giants
A Seance Of Dark Delusions
New Kscope signings Nordic Giants release their debut album A Séance Of Dark Delusions . The elusive duo bring their beautifully apocalyptic soundscapes alive in a rich project exploring the deep breadths of sonic and visual art. Largely instrumental, A Séance Of Dark Delusions reflects the inspired musical experimentation and atmosphere of Sigur Rós, 65daysofstatic, Bjork and Pink Floyd. Nordic Giants bring a heavy orchestral brutality through progressive guitar, drum and brass, which are paired with beautiful and haunting electronics as they warp loops and samples through pattered keys, the Nordic Giants enlist the vocal features of artists, Saturday Sun ('Dissolve'), Nadine Wild Palmer ('Futures Dark'), Freyja ('Give Flight To The Imagination'), and Beth Cannon ('Rapture'). As the lead & first video track from A Séance Of Dark Delusions, is 'Rapture' is an enigmatically provoking wonderment featuring vocals from Beth Cannon, the song's cavernous holy sentiments crawl beneath the skin with their poignant key chimes, creeping synths and chorus choir. Live Nordic Giants are an even more imposing beast. Experimenting with different live performance spaces, from Victorian halls to 360-degree visual domes to digital mapping shows. Using short films from acclaimed award winning directors, incorporating delicate animation as well as immersive actor led stories. Nordic Giants have just finished up a European support slot with Sólstafir and have been confirmed for festivals, including La Ferme Festival, Out Of The Crowd Festival and Aloud Music Festival with headline dates for the UK being booked.

The album will released as a sleevepac CD/DVD package with the bonus DVD featuring a 15 minute documentary including behind the scenes footage from the recording , interviews with the producer and artwork designer.
