And So I Watch You From Afar premiere Dying Giants from new album The Endless Shimmering

And So I Watch You From Afar (Paul Bachmann / Live4ever)

Dying Giants is the new single taken from And So I Watch You From Afar‘s upcoming album The Endless Shimmering.

“We laid everything bare and put everything we had into the songs,” bass player Johnathan Adger has said of the record, which is due out on October 20th.

“And we hope people can feel that and use that without us having to be to overt in how we present it. The album was charged with a lot of what we were all going through as individuals, but we wanted to allow it to become people’s soundtrack to whatever they need in their life at this moment.”

“We wrote around 30 tracks before deciding these 9 tracks would make the record,” Rory Friers adds.

“We then spent a long time playing them everyday to allow them to become almost as if we’d already toured them, ingrained in our muscle memory.”

A comprehensive European tour opens October 18th in the Netherlands.
