Blue Giant

VINYL FORMAT. Blue Giant is the creation of Kevin and Anita Robinson, better known as Portland indie pop darlings Viva Voce. The Robinson's new band features Chris Funk (The Decemberists), Evan Railton (Swords) and Seth Lorinczi (The Golden Bears). On their self-titled debut, produced by Kevin Robinson, Blue Giant combines the traditional sounds of American music - country, bluegrass, and folk - with driving, straight-ahead rock. The twelve tracks on the album, written by Kevin and Anita, showcase that versatility from the classic country feel of "Lonely Girl," to the melodic guitars in "Clean the Clock," to the mellow, deceptively simple "Gone for Good," which feature Sleater-Kinney's Corin Tucker.
