Between the progressive rock of the early 70s and the alternative rock of the end of the millennium, “Music for Empty Places”, the debut album of the Ligurian band GIANT THE VINE, takes shape.
The band was born around 2014, and goes through the usual changes of line-up necessary to identify affinities and build a personal sound with odd times, guitars arpeggios and suspensions of mellotron and piano, but also powerful riffs and emotional solos.
Not surprisingly, among the influences of the group we find Yes, Genesis and King Crimson together with Mogwai, Secret Machines, Riverside and Porcupine Tree.

Eight carefully crafted instrumental tracks, featuring two guitarists (Fabio Vrenna and Fulvio Solari) and a drummer (Daniele Riotti) who were joined by Marco Fabricci on bass and two keyboardists / pianists (Chico Schoen and Ilaria Vrenna), between tense electric progressions and ecstatic melancholy moments.
