I’ve been listening to a new band in the same vein as God is an Astronaut called If These Trees Could Talk. Kind of spacey, post-rock with a metal edge. I like these kinds of instrumentals when working.

Their latest track is “Trail of Whispering Giants,” which is a reference to a collection of sculptures by artist Peter Wolf Toth. The 74 Whispering Giants range from 15 to 40 feet (4.6 to 12.2 m) in height, and all resemble natives of the region in which they are located.

There’s even one in Illinois in a small village called Hopewell, near Peoria. Wild.
