Giant Fang - Aqualung

Giant Fang – aka Glasgow’s newest music and production beacon Doug Wilson – has delivered an overwhelmingly powerful slice of euphoric pop in forthcoming single ‘Aqualung’. Released on June 23rd via Pop unLTD, the song is punctuated with swirling electronics, twinkling melodies and a rousing, stadium sized chorus – all of which are themes present in the second Giant Fang track that is available to stream online, titled ‘Kingdom’. Having already been lauded by Huw Stephens and Radio 1, it’s safe to assume that Mister Wilson has an exciting summer ahead of him, starting with the first full-band Giant Fang gig on June 20th at Glasgow’s The Art School.

The EP itself, These Streets, will be released by Thumbscrew Music on 3rd June, and sees Lily Buchanan’s rich thunderous voice paired with some grungy blues and almost gothic-folk. We’ve got the premiere of the hypnotic psych-folk I See No Lies below that’s bursting with energy and anger.
