Perhaps we’re a bit isolated on the mainland, but we don’t seem to hear about much of the great music I’m sure they’re making in Tasmania. One act creating some buzz here are indie rocker Lyke Giants, and they’re reminding us why with their latest single “Jacob.”
This song is a real grower. It starts off delicate but builds beautifully with heavy bass grooves and raw, honest vocals. The track references the biblical story of Jacob wrestling with God to receive a new name. However, you don’t need to be religious to appreciate this gutsy rock song.
Hopefully there’s a lot more to come from this talented Tassie band.
