DIGITAL ONLY

Quiet Giant is a four-piece indie rock band from New Haven, Conn., formed in 2014 around the unconventional tunes of singer-songwriter Danielle Capalbo. What began as a recording project in collaboration with drummer Jared Thompson has evolved into a dynamic, lush effort with soaring lead guitars from William Touri and a strong melodic groove from bassist Mark Almodovar.

Self-described as “heavy, dreamy pop with heart,” Quiet Giant combines ethereal vocals, haunting melodies and reverb-laden arrangements with hard-hitting rock-and-roll. The group has performed across the Northeast as a supporting act for Hop Along, Speedy Ortiz, and Palehound. In 2015, Quiet Giant released its full-length debut, loom, through The Telegraph Recording Company, and is currently promoting a five-song EP called You’re In Heaven which premiered on The Hartford Courant’s website.

Brian Varneke at The New England Deli called the EP “a five-song odyssey that feels more like a multi-movement work than a standard release,” and Brian Slattery at The New Haven Independent said single “Knee of the Curve” is “the kind of big song you might play at full blast in your car with the windows rolled all the way down. It’s a song made for summer.” The record has also drawn praise from The Hartford Courant, CT Now and Cygnus Radio; in summer 2017 Quiet Giant were also finalists for The Deli’s best emerging band poll.

The group’s first single, “Every Crime,” was named one of WCNI New London’s top tracks of the year. Quiet Giant was a finalist for Connecticut Best New Band in 2015, and their debut album, loom, was released in September 2015. The Metal Dad called it one of his favorite non-metal albums of the year. Lonesome Noise called the album one “that’s going to be, and should be, viewed as one of the best to emerge from this small state with the big music scene. Quiet Giant have blown the lid off the proverbial music box.”
