Joseph Giant
About
Joseph Giant is a stage name adopted by Seattle singer and songwriter Joe Syverson whose beautifully crafted bedroom americana indie folk rock songs lead the listener down a path of hope, love and loss. Born and raised in a religious cult that his family left at the age of 12. Joe found escape in writing songs at a young age and eventually moving to Seattle where he was a member and fronted many bands over the years including Terror Sheets, Throw Me The Statue (Secretly Canadian) Pearly Gate Music (Barsuk), Final Spins, & Floored Faces. With the arrival of his third album A Night In The Sun ,Joseph Giant immediately pulls the listener into a world of lush instrumentation (drum machines, acoustic guitars, reverb soaked vocals) with guitar lines that flirt with ticklish cosmic country and others that reflect the dark garage sounds of the early 60’s.Home recorded and self produced with just enough polish to bring out the shining and melancholy undertones of Syverson’s vocals. There is an abiding sadness with a friendly and familiar theme of light carrying you through the dark times, “one more night in the sun” indeed.
