Founded in 2009 by Ryan Mannie as a solo project to explore more ambient musical ideas, the project expanded to a full line of members for live performances, which was followed up with their debut album "The World is Held by a Taut String" in 2011.
The band would continue to perform and support their album until 2015 when they took a hiatus, at which time each member individually worked on various aspects of music production and writing.
In 2021 the band became active again, working on their follow-up EP "This Place is Not a Home" which was released by the duo of Carver Simmons and Ryan Mannie.[2]
Living With Giants would release one more single, a 20-minute piece titled "Rest," as a duo[3] before bringing in Andrew Mckay Curteman on percussion in 2024.
The band continues to write and release music, with their most recent work being a split EP with UK band beneathwaves, releasing in February 2025[1]
Musical Style
Living With Giants identifies themselves as primarily instrumental, yet often is associated with the genre of post-rock. The band has a focus on layering multiple rhythms and melodies, as well as other musical influences such as sound healing and binaural audio.[3]
