LISTEN TO “PINK SKIES HERE
PRESAVE HOW HAVE YOU BEEN? HERE
January 12, 2024 – Just before the release of their second album How Have You Been?, Giant Rooks drop their single “Pink Skies” via Mercury/Republic
“Pink Skies” is one of the songs on the album that radiates a yearning lightness with its sound. To accompany the release of the song, the band have started their tour in Europe in January, where “Pink Skies” and other album songs will be played live for the first time.
Giant Rooks about “Pink Skies”:
“Pink Skies” is a California fever dream of a love story and probably the most light-hearted song on the album. It was so much fun to write and produce, it’s also the first song we’ve ever done that’s entirely riff based, with this one riff from guitar and bass playing through the whole song.
The song is another step on the journey towards the band’s second album. How Have You Been? will be released on February 2, 2024 and promises a wealth of memorable pop moments, with its unmistakable Rooks sound, catchy melodies, polished lyrics and sophisticated songwriting.
Since that first album, a lot has happened to the band, consisting of singer Frederik Rabe, guitarist Finn Schwieters, bassist Luca Göttner, keyboardist Jonathan Wischniowski and drummer Finn Thomas – and that’s somewhat of an understatement. Rookery reached number 3 in the album charts and amassed over 200 million streams in 2020, picking up awards and selling out tours across Germany and all over Europe. Things then quieted down and the band concentrated on writing new material and on their live shows.
On How Have You Been, Giant Rooks sum up the last few years in 14 songs. To give you a first taste of the album, the band has released an album trailer, which you can watch HERE. In February the tour will continue with stops in Europe, UK and North America. All tour dates can be found at: www.giant-rooks.com.
