Plume Giant
Oliver, Nolan, and Eliza met as students at Yale, and quickly began layering and stitching together their ideas into a collaborative sound that would become Plume Giant. After spending many hours putting their heads together and singing, they turned these collaborations into many, many songs, and developed a sound that is very much their own. Plume Giant's blend of '60s harmonies, summery folk, and campy, whimsical humor has charmed audiences across the country on many tours around the east coast, in the Midwest, and out west. Their unique sound weaves together inventive harmonies, evocative lyrics, double fiddles, and other melodious noises made with tambourines, harmoniums, melodicas, and any other toys they can get their hands on!

Plume Giant is Oliver Hill (guitar, viola, voice), Nolan Green (guitar, harmonium, voice), and Eliza Bagg (violin, harmonium, trinkets, voice). All of their songs are written together – in the living room, on the porch, or in the backyard somewhere. The three are always listening to each other to make sure they keep new ideas in the mix – and, of course, so they can always sing in tune! When performing live, Plume Giant maintains their carefully crafted harmonies while immersing their music in the energy and humor that stems from their quirks and friendship.

After coming out with an EP, Plume Giant, in October of 2010, Plume Giant is releasing their debut full-length in August of 2012. It's called Callithump, and they hope the album will be for its listeners what its title describes: a noisy, riotous parade of boisterous music-making! Having just graduated from college in May 2012, they will be making their way to Brooklyn to pursue music full-time.

Most importantly though: if they were perfumes, they would be lavender, ginger, and honey, and if they were legumes, they would be parsnips, parsnips and parsnips.
