“Melancholy, dreaminess and longing – that’s what you’ll find in ‘Red Giraffe’. With this song, we wanted to explore a soundscape built on huge contrasts: soft and gloomy sections that gradually give way to massive wall-of-sound choruses and soaring vocals.

The song deals with the effects of substance abuse and the often misaligned public discourse surrounding the issue. For us, ‘Red Giraffe’ is about exploring the darker sides of the subject without simplifying it – and letting the music reflect the emotional weight and contrasts within the story.” says the band

BIOGRAPHY:
