The track continually builds until landing to explode in a mass of musical tension, growing with a chanting vocal declaration to saturate the listener in a spacious soundscape.\u00a0<em>Jacob\u00a0<\/em>is out now\u00a0via a self release\u00a0and you can pick it up via<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/au\/album\/jacob-single\/id1057473209\" target=\"_blank\"> iTunes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The band has been on an upward curve since their debut album in 2013, gaining blog love from around the world and even more success recently with their release in August, <em>Let Up<\/em>. Back home in Australia\u00a0Lyke Giants\u00a0have also thrived, performing at The Falls Festival multiple times and supporting bands such as British India and Faker. The new single is a follow-up to <em>Spite<\/em>, which focused on a steady and dense groove that drives the song, enabling the listener to jump right in from the outset. Its layers of seemingly contrasting tones all gel to form a soft to gritty, thick, and spacious track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Coming from the southernmost point of the Australian continent, the Tasmanian indie rock band\u00a0Lyke Giants\u00a0have unveiled their brand new single Jacob.
