about

'Big Woman' is a breakup album, an endeavor into deep feeling, and a paean to growing up in a world that only wants you to shrink. Written and recorded over two gruelling years, 'Big Woman' charts the course of grief through to vision, braiding together feminine rage, ecology, ethics, and hope.

Conceptually the album came together along with a short set of prose, accompanied by graphic art by long time friend of the band, Mica Still. This merging of memories from kiki's childhood with dense feelings of now is a clinical examination of how your pasts are always reflected in your responses, and how we can all choose what to remove and what to cultivate.

'Big Woman' is Giantess' demands for a revolution - a total restructuring of systems of power both personally and globally. Lyrically the songs rend together deadbeat dads, a Christchurch flood, a sad motel in Upper Hutt, airport check-ins, nuclear annihilation and the inherent cruelty of rich people, into an announcement that we all deserve better. The album is like the Tower - total destruction but with the promise of new beginnings.

about

Giantess Wellington, New Zealand

Giantess make roaring heartsongs steeped in floods and fires. Giantess are the convergence of kiki van newtown's thunderous writing and Jason Erskine's transcendent production. Together they create cavernous gospels, songs wide open with emotion and power - a straight staring-down of anguish and injustice.

If Giantess were a three card spread they would be The Tower, The Chariot, The Star. ... more
