Seattle-based indie rock trio Naked Giants are excited to announce the release of their new single, “Did I Just Die,” along with its music video, directed by the band and edited by Heather Garcia. “Did I Just Die” is the latest release from their highly anticipated third album, Shine Away, out on October 4 via Devil Duck Records.
On the new track, vocalist/guitarist Grant Mullen shares, “This song is driven by moody dynamics. With an almost too-soft verse and too-heavy chorus, we translate the high highs and low lows that an anxious person may experience in their day-to-day life. The lyrics narrate the journey of growing up and discovering oneself through changing relationships and social circles. What was once a vibrant music scene has now become tainted and ‘broken-hearted.’ There’s a sense of embarrassment over this loss of innocence, reflected in the imagery of trying to hide the ‘bite marks’ in one’s mouth. Despite longing to return to simpler times, the song captures the joy of new romantic experiences and the peace found between life’s extremes.”
In support of Shine Away, Naked Giants will embark on a series of shows in the Pacific Northwest, including a hometown performance at The Crocodile on November 7.
When Naked Giants formed in 2014, the Seattle trio—vocalist/guitarist Grant Mullen, bassist/vocalist Gianni Aiello and drummer Henry LaVallee—were all 18 years-old, and full of the reckless, restless energy of youth. The band have evolved from their youthful, high-energy beginnings to a more introspective and mature sound. Shine Away reflects this journey, showcasing a blend of raw rock energy with deeper musical and lyrical exploration.
