Giants & Dreamers is the first full length recording from Toronto’s Bravestation. This is an interesting collection of 9 tracks that can perhaps best be described as gentle and experimental electronic pop. The album has been over a year in the making, with the quartet working in isolation for large parts of the songwriting process before coming together to record the final product. The album is opened by its second single Tides Of The Summit, a track that typifies much of the album with its atmospheric electronic sound over which rhythmic percussion builds. Devin Wilson’s vocals are smooth and in a high pitch, the lyrics having a fantasy edge as Andrew Heppner ‘s keyboard effects create a swirling backdrop. Western Thrills has a faster tempo, Wilson’s bass and the guitar of his brother Derek working well together. The drum rhythms from Jeremy Rossetti are again intricate, the tribal feel he creates being a feature of the band’s music. Lead single Signs Of The Civilised has a more strident sound and harsher vocals, but the drums and keyboards again create an ambient backing that allows space for the vocals.
