About Giant Cloud

"A glowing beacon from Ruston, Louisiana (also hometown of Athens-bound Elephant 6 heroes, Neutral Milk Hotel), 'Giant Cloud,' formerly known as 'John Henry’s Hammer,' is a true highlight of the evening with their intimate 5 piece set. Julie Odell provides honeydew vocals and soft, meticulous keyboard - while the young, bearded, Benjamin Jones provides amazing liquid vocals and drifting guitar. Trey Stephens en bass; Anton Overby at masterfully subdued Drums; & Preston Whittenburg on perfectly meshed backup vocals and gorgeous guitar. The band’s organic rumor mill has headed to New Orleans as home base for now, where they hope to (as Preston so eloquently puts it) “get stabbed and shit.” A fitting title, 'Giant Cloud' is a little Beach House… mixed with Grizzly Bear… and.. Man Man?… no, that doesn’t settle it... They definitely have an inimitable style and grace, and should not be missed for any reason. Please listen with both ears!  Thank you."
