German alt rock outfit Giant Rooks made their long-awaited debut in 2020 with their first full-length album Rookery. The band already had built hype in their native Germany on the back of three promising EPs, but they’ve earned even greater praise for their electric live shows. Of course, the pandemic ruined any chances of touring for Rookery so, like many other bands, they’ve taken their live show online, recording homely stripped-down versions of the songs off of Rookery.

The latest of these Rookery Live Tapes has just released with “All We Are.”

“All We Are” shows off the band’s in its stripped-back form, drawing the original’s percussive electronic beats back into a subdued piano performance. The band’s expressive delivery and gentle lyricism emerge as the focal point of the song as Giant Rooks trade driving instrumentals, powerhouse production, and expansive indie soundscapes for plaintive vulnerability. It’s a different side to the band but one that is no less emotive.

Check out the video below and watch for the Rookery Live Tapes, out June 18th.

Giant Rooks also has announced rescheduled North American dates supporting Milky Chance. Check them out below.
