Description/Reviews:

Erlend, through Soup, typically makes explosive, crescendo-based progressive rock with indie trappings. With Giant Sky, he is making music that is more pensive. Yes, many of the songs have energy and maybe even some edge, but many are more ambient, electronic, and ethereal in tone. The project has the label “alternative art rock”, but I feel like more is happening here.
