Seattle's Naked Giants have unleashed a brand new single, "Apartment 3," that feels like a warm hug from a familiar friend. Released on July 17, 2024, the song marks a return to the band's signature sound, a blend of grit, inward-looking lyrics, and a healthy dose of days gone by. "Apartment 3" is a musical walk down memory lane, transporting listeners to a simpler time and a forgotten era. This new single showcases the band's growth while staying true to their roots. Combining elements of garage rock, punk, and indie, "Apartment 3" is a testament to Naked Giants' ability to blend emotion through music.
The song's lyrics, written by frontman Gianni Lee, are mysterious yet moving. The opening line, "As I was saying it was 1964/They put a color television on the second floor, didn't that change everything?," immediately sets the tone for a sentimental trip down memory lane. Lee's delivery is conversational, almost stream-of-consciousness, weaving together fragments of memory and logical reflections. Lines like "I don't know how to explain it, I feel like I've heard this one before... But it's alright, it's alright, I'm really ok" hint at a sense of comfortable familiarity amidst the years that have gone by. The narrative of "Apartment 3" can be seen as a parable for the modern human experience, where individuals often feel trapped within their own minds, seeking comfort and meaning in an increasingly crazy world.
The subsequent years saw Naked Giants diligently crafting their debut album, "SLUFF," which materialized in 2018. During this period, the band collaborated with Ron Gallo on his singles "Sorry Not Everybody Is You" and "The Age of Information." "SLUFF," produced by Steve Fisk, boasted 12 tracks, including notable songs like "Dead/Alien," "We're Alone," and "TV." The album's success was further propelled by the release of three singles: "TV," "Everybody Thinks They Know (But No One Really Knows)," and "SLUFF," accompanied by an extensive tour alongside Car Seat Headrest in 2018.
In 2019, Naked Giants unveiled "Green Fuzz," an EP comprising four tracks, including the titular song and an acoustic rendition of "Everybody Thinks They Know (But No One Really Knows)." Accompanying the EP was a music video for "Green Fuzz," featuring a narrative involving three students attempting to unravel the mystery of the Green Fuzz monster.
Their musical journey continued with the release of their second album, "The Shadow," on August 21, 2020. This album, featuring 11 tracks such as "Walk Of Doom," "Take A Chance," and "Turns Blue," was produced by Chris Funk. In 2023, the band released the single "Merry Christmas To You And Your Dog."
As of May 26, 2023, according to a Facebook post, Naked Giants is in the process of working on a new album. Anticipation is high as fans eagerly await the band's forthcoming musical endeavors in 2024.
