Mushroom Giant have announced the release of their highly anticipated new album “In A Forest” through Australian label Bird’s Robe.
They will celebrate the release of the record with their European debut at Belgium’s Dunk Festival in May, alongside We Lost The sea, Maybeshewill, God Is An Astronaut & And So I Watch You From Afar.
Before they depart, they will also perform with Japanese Post-Rock legends MONO in Melbourne in March, as well as co-headlining at The Vanguard in Sydney on May 6 with Seims & Solkyri.
Known for their live performances which offer an aural and visual experience that transcend the conventional Rock band, they explore a theatrical realm full of colour and imagery.
The record showcases the band’s Dark, Progressive, Cinematic sound, which has been a hallmark of their 15-year career to date.
Watch the official video for the track “Owls” through the YouTube player below:
“Owls is one of those astute, dextrous pieces of music that manages to be dynamic, to ebb of flow beautifully over the course of its epic length, while still building to a riveting climax. That climax, in this instance, comes at around the six to seven minute mark. When the heavy guitars are roaring, it truly sends shivers through you.” – Rod Whitfield, Sense Music Media.
Watch the official video for the track “Earthrise” through the YouTube player below:
Formed in 2002, the band have become a legendary part of the Australian underground music scene and performed alongside many notable post-rock artists including MONO, Pelican, Sleepmakeswaves, We Lost The Sea & more.
“In A Forest” will be co-released on the iconic Post-Rock label Dunk Records and available on digital, CD & LP formats.
