Just released this week, we have the debut release from Blue Giant. It is 6 song EP that features some of the best psych-country and rural-rock from the songwriting team of Viva Voce. If you are aware of the this EP that was previously available in digital format only, it features members from The Decemberists, Viva Voce, The Swords Project, The Golden Bears & also includes a stunning duet with Corinne Tucker entitled “Gone For Good”.
The two promo tracks included are “Blue Sunshine” which is a bit of a country barn burner mixed with classic rock riffs…yes, you read that right….and it works! I personally think it might be due to the harmonica. Also included is the title track “Target Heart” in which this “motley crew” of West Coast indie scensters is a bit more subdued. With it’s Americana twang mixed with piano and slide guitar, it could fool you for something from the South. Where ever you may be from, you just might like to stop, take a listen and look into it.

I like it. I love Viva Voce but this is a lot different to their stuff. Nice
kevin and anita are from the south, so that would explain the southernness you described. I like viva voce okay but really connect with the new blue giant! love it.
I haven’t really listened to too much Viva Voce, I will have to listen to actually be able to compare – the Blue Giant is pretty darn good though – I agree Caroline!
