We like trees, Wii and bumblebees. Chocolate coloured lizards, UFO's and space malls. Willy Vlautin, Ron Asheton, Jacque Costeau, Eric Morecambe and Barney Bubbles. We love happy sad like Grizzlybear, John Martyn, Nick Drake, Panda Bear and Panther and the Zoo. We're made of Marc, Syd, Gram, Scott and Moon with a sprinkling of Lou and Sterling. We'll just keep trying to sound like ourselves even though we don't know what that is. Thanks for being a Baby Giant friend.
From the rain forest of the Waitakere Ranges in New Zealand's West Auckland comes The Baby Giant.
Sounding like a car crash between Neil Young and The Flaming Lips with roadside assistance from Jonathan Richman, this is cinematic pop and folkie melodious soundscapes with a country-psych bent all washed up with the desperate energy of lost youth.
Confused? So are we.
But The Baby Giant is our infant, feeding at rock and roll's ubiquitous teat.
If we play, they will come.
The Baby Giant's first EP 'The Beach' is now available.
There are only 500 copies available.
You can order yours from Smoke CDs, Borders or call Marbecks on +64 9 379 0444 or www.marbecks.co.nz.

Hey Y’know Digital Promotion helps the environment AND the economy?
Promoting, selling and creating new revenue streams online requires no manufacturing process, and without physical shipment, creates no “carbon footprint”.
As a musician, digital products and services give you access to a global market, and the value that is created comes back to our local economy. Now you don’t need to have industry contacts - build connections directly with fans worldwide.
We’re encouraging New Zealand musicians to get out there, get online, and take their creativity to the world. Develop content on your own websites, develop your blog, develop and expand new ways to connect and create opportunities online.
The future for creative New Zealanders is just around the corner. Make sure you’re up to date with the latest online promo news and tips by subscribing to our digital music promotion blog here on myspace
Happy new year The Baby Giant! My new album Second Chances is available through Myspace as an exclusive pre-release for only $15! Get it now before it hits stores (for 5 bucks more...that'll get you $5 worth of chips!) Message us here if you're keen!
