Review

Get ready to be swept off your feet with Giant Rooks' second album, "How Have You Been?", a 2024 creation that drapes the canvas of indie and alternative rock with a masterful blend of aching memories and powerful anthems. The album's generous offering of 14 new tracks showcases not just the band's growth but their soaring maturity since their debut "Rookery." The opening salvo, "For You," sets the stage with an emotional piano intro, interwoven with subtle strings and powerful drums, creating an anthem dripping with nostalgia and warmth.

Tracks like "Fight Club" and "Cold Wars" burst forth with catchy energy, creating an irresistible resonance for fans, while more introspective pieces like "Under Your Wings" highlight the band's depth and versatility. The production is polished to perfection, with each instrument and vocal part expertly balanced, crafting a rich, immersive soundscape. The poignant, relatable lyrics invite a deeply personal and emotional experience, making "How Have You Been?" a triumphant sophomore effort that solidifies Giant Rooks as a rising force in the indie and alternative rock milieu. - Jasper
