Ex-Pro Skater Jesse Landen’s Indie Pop Group Jiants share Meditative single “Moon Lit”

Jiants is a three piece Indie/pop band from Toronto lead by the songwriting of ex-professional skateboarder Jesse Landen. Jiants performs a unique blend of nostalgic sounding lo-fi indie pop songs complete with great hooks and soaring leads. Once hailed by Paste Magazine as “a band to watch,” they have just finished their fourth album, Tall Tales, and it's their best effort yet. The record was engineered and produced by Gavin Gardiner (The Wooden Sky) at All-Day Coconut Studios and is set to be released November 10th, 2023.

Their latest single, “Moon Lit,” is a dreamy yet driving track. Jesse explains:

Moon Lit is about walking up to the fact that you might just be chasing the nostalgia of imaginary summer love. It's about catching yourself dreaming of lustful, humid, summer nights that keep you in a perpetual loop of hypothetical excitement for the unknowns just around the bend. But this time something feels different. There’s a slow unraveling reality that these kinds of nights are now filling you with emptiness and maybe don’t serve you as well as they used to.
