   About absTRACT giANTS
“Picture a violin wailing as three MCs spit semi-automatic bursts of rhymes and you'll begin to envision the draw of Abstract Giants, an eight-piece> hip-hop band that draws as much from Tito Puente as it does from The Roots. When the band performs, their origins are evident. They seem like a post-integration, suburban version of Fat Albert's Junkyard Gang.” ----Chicago Sun Times
Hip hop band. It's not too common to see those three words written in that order, is it? When you do, more often than not you'll be reading about Philly innovators The Roots. You can understand my excitement when I realized that we've now got our own version of that legendary group right here in our backyard. ‹.. [the abstract giants] all immensely talented, and upon first listen, you'd think the band has been playing together forever. Amazingly, it's only been about two years since the group's inception. Ladies and gentlemen, there's finally a reason for you to take that copy of The Low End Theory out of your CD player. The golden era of hip hop may be long gone, but the Giants are truly the next big thing. ---Spencer Lokken, Chicago Innerview magazine

Hello Abstract Giants, So charmingly silky, your skin is like a teardrop on a popsickle. Wood nymphs sprinkle your path with rose petals while you dance and prowl in the sequined moonlight with leftover cupcake sprinkles. Your layers of absinthe and torsion form concretions of hyper-alimentation. Your sweet voice is like the application of aloe vera upon a sunburnt back. I find your eyes to be a wondrous amusement park filled with neo-plastic pleasures and turkish delights. As the bliss slowly rises in my incandescent eluxulator, your mere presence has a euphoric effect upon me. Your eyes show as many deep and full shades of fire as a thousand supernovas. The elves that play in the toasters wash their drum sticks in honey and sing strikingly colored anthems in perfect harmonious pleasure. May you always have stables of horses to service your needs. Your eyes are like spheres of crystal water filled with shimmering dreams. Panoramic aromavision is the future. In your absence I am forced into finding other forms of amusement while thinking about you.
