A Gem If You Can Find It, July 23, 2008
This review is from: Purity & Control (Audio CD)
I was just looking at the reviews for their first album 'Red And Clear'. Never really got into that- a little too wilfully obscure and lacking hooks for me but this, their second and final album is quite different. A lot more tunes, retaining the rawness and strained vocals but with really excellent musicianship and almost Pixies-like stop/start dynamics this is a great album from beginning to end. Can't believe noone's reviewed it yet.
Part of the 'first wave' of emo bands such as Promise Ring, Braid, Christie Front Drive, Mineral etc, Giants Chair never really got the recognition they deserved and I have no idea why. I believe the drummer went on to be in the Farewell Bend.
