ReVi3W - Giant Peach - Callous and Strange 7”

I’m not sure why it’s taken me so long to write about this really good 7”. Maybe it is because the music contained within is really priceless and very warm sounding to me. Really comforting. I would like to be one with Giant Peach, but I just cannot… I just cannot describe them. One reason for this is because they sound like they snipped every bad ass band that ever existed and turned it into a 7”. I swear, there are Velocity Girl parts, bits of Sterling Silver, a little bit of the Swirlies, some Boyracer; I mean it’s guitar oriented indie rock at an ultimate level. The ability to show musical capability and the ability of not outwearing your influences right on your sleeve (is super important). Does that make sense?
