The final installment of the GIANT SKY trilogy, Giant Sky. The companion postlude album, The Further We Go The Deeper It Gets, follows shortly.
Together, the two records complete an ambitious body of work that has seen Viken explore a broader and more introspective musical landscape than ever before.
While Viken"s band Soup has become renowned for its emotionally charged, crescendo-driven soundscapes, GIANT SKY allows him to embrace an even wider palette of influences. Drawing from alternative art rock, post-rock, electronica, ambient music, indie, folk, and progressive rock, the project balances immersive atmospheres with memorable melodies.
In an era increasingly dominated by algorithms, artificial intelligence and digital perfection, Viken has consciously taken the opposite path. GIANT SKY is built around the human element of music-making, embracing imperfections and authenticity as artistic strengths.
For fans of artists such as Mogwai, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Pink Floyd, Nick Drake, Arcade Fire, Mike Oldfield and Sigur Rós.
