The music on Giant counterbalances the lyrical content; each instrument, the interplay between the instrumental voices, and the structures of the songs convey specific emotions the complement the narrative they support. Steeped in both the jazz and classical worlds since a young age, Rob LeCheminant writes from the idea that music is malleable, changeable, unbridled, and passionate and that it doesn't need to be held down by specific rules or ideals.
Giant is a high-concept album written in a way that the listener would never suspect. The orchestral flares come through, the underlying jazz rhythms quietly bolster the arrangement, and the voice is used as an instrument in the scheme of the whole "symphony." Yet it’s also an immediately engaging work of modern music. Plumb it’s depths or let it wash over you, Giant is a transformative and deeply rewarding experience.
