Album Notes & Community Reviews

Borrowing its title from John Coltrane, 'Giant Steps' is a massively ambitious, kaleidoscopic masterpiece of neo-psychedelia and indie rock. The Boo Radleys utilize highly eclectic, dense orchestration, seamlessly merging noisy shoegaze textures with reggae rhythms and progressive, melodic pop songcraft.
