Set within an enormous floating terrarium, Giant Egg follows its narrator's quest to meet an animal in a world filled only with fossils. The songs wind through dense harmonies and lush textures to build a fragmented portrait of an explorer without a horizon, a would-be scientist haunted at every turn—by the ghost of a friend named Jamie, by the mysterious power plant looming in the distance, by an agonizing curiosity that won't let go. Giant Egg is a meditation on connection, loss, containment, and isolation, as indebted to the intricate chamber-folk of Sufjan Stevens as it is to the quiet confidence of Alex G’s humblest DIY offerings.
