On Shoulders of Giants is an Israeli pop trio.
History
[edit]On Shoulders of Giants evolved in late 2006 when Idan Epshtein and Avital Tamir, widely recognized artists from Israel's alternative music scene, joined forces to create an experimental acoustic pop group.Their search for the perfect fusion of their background in the punk/metal world with a sweeter, but palatable raw edge led them to Katie Danielson, an aspiring young singer and multi-instrumentalist living in Jerusalem. The creative connection between the three was immediate, and they quickly began collaborating on songs that would reflect their unique and unexpected chemistry.Within months, On Shoulders of Giants developed a distinctive sound and songwriting style - highly listenable, emotive and dramatic, yet often darkly colored in cryptic musicianship.
Musical style and Influences
[edit]The band has cited several artist as being influential for them, including among others Justin Timberlake, Gomez and Antony and the Johnsons.
