Giant Swan have shared details of a new EP, Do Not Be Afraid Of Tenderness.
Comprised of three tracks, the EP follows on from the duo’s 2019 self-titled album and marks the second release on their own Keck label. You can listen to lead track ‘Silkworm’ just below.
The duo’s Harry Wright says the title for him is "a result of a more personal struggle I’ve been exploring with regards to loss, consolation and serenity," adding that it’s "about accepting we’re all ‘under’ something in all senses of the word, through oppression and limitation in one sense of course, but in a more positive way it’s about knowing there is love and help around and it will always find you if you can’t find it."
Giant Swan’s other half, Robin Stewart, adds: "I found the writing process incredibly difficult because we weren’t able to see one another. An unusual lack of contact meant that mixing the tunes felt very raw and reactionary, which I felt actually made the experience an enriching one."
Keck will release Do Not Be Afraid Of Tenderness on February 19, 2021.
