Ruby Tuesday | GIANT CROW

In the organizer's words:

In the hazy streets of Hamburg, a band formed that provides the soundtrack to a world where Americana meets North German melancholy: Giant Crow. Their latest album In The Cut, released in September 2024 on Cosirecords, is a testament to their ability to transcend genre boundaries and evoke deep emotions.

Frontman and banjo player Nikolas Kuhl leads with his distinctive voice through lyrical landscapes that oscillate between apocalyptic spirituality and ironic distance. Guitarist Justin Jardine complements this cosmos of sound with tones rooted in both Nashville and post-rock, while bassist Judith Krischke lays the foundation with deep lines ranging from jazz to distorted rock. Classically trained violinist Maline Zickow skillfully blurs the boundaries between genres and adds an extra dimension to the sound.

Giant Crow mix alternative country with post-punk and neo-psychedelic and are a clear recommendation for fans of 16 Horsepower, Wovenhand, Emma Ruth Rundle, Lucy Kruger & the Lost Boys and Nick Cave.

"Like distant America, bloody, wild, like Cormac McCarthy, in a feverish mixture of Hank Williams, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Joy Division" Chris Airoldi
