Description
2019, 12″ LP, Keck Records.
Over the last few years, Bristol’s Giant Swan have rightly become one of the most admired and talked about acts in techno, primarily thanks to their brilliant live shows and a gritty, loose-limbed take on industrial techno that combines a free-wheeling punk attitude with more funk than is normally found within the scene they inhabit. The duo’s long awaited debut album is a little more mixed-up sound wise (I.E there’s a little more guitar and it’s not all full-throated hedonism), but happily they’ve stayed true to their roots and offered up something reminiscent of their legendary live shows. In other words, it’s a great first missive; we expect there to be even better albums to come from Giant Swan in the years ahead. – Juno
