Spills / Circlerunners by Giant Hammer

These are the first two songs we wrote for Giant Hammer. I came up with a handful of guitar parts in August last year and sent them to Maz so she could write some lyrics. A week or so later we were hanging out in the living room at House Red and both of these came together in one sitting. One of those classic cases where it almost feels too easy to write but I remember being really proud and excited about the music.

Maybe another week later we had our first practice as a full band. I think Spills was the first thing we played together and by the end of that session it sounded pretty much how it does now. Circlerunners spent a little longer in the oven, we couldn't figure out how to end it until Griffy came up with some extra chords for the outro.

We ended up recording over a few days in March in my room. It was a really bare-bones recording setup (one mic on the kit etc.) but I'm stoked with how they sound. Looking forward to sharing more of our stuff soon, hopefully in higher fidelity ! - Milo xo
