Giants in the Trees was an American rock band formed in Wahkiakum County, Washington, in 2017.[1] The band was formed by former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic, who created the band as a local musical project.[2] Novoselic, Jillian Raye, Erik Friend, and Ray Prestegard were the current band members of Giants in the Trees, until 2020.[3] Often, Jennifer Johnson joins on vocals.[4]

History

The band started by writing two songs in the first two days of playing together; "Sasquatch" and "Center of the Earth".[5] "Sasquatch" was their first officially released song, in July 2017; it was released alongside a music video that Krist joked as "costing over 2 million U.S. dollars to produce."[6] [7]

Giants in the Trees' self-titled debut album was released in late 2017.[8] The band's second album, Volume 2, was released on March 29, 2019.[9]

Novoselic, Raye, and Johnson formed the supergroup 3rd Secret in 2022, alongside Soundgarden's Matt Cameron and Kim Thayil and Void's Bubba Dupree.[10]

Novoselic stated in an essay in 2023, that the band "fizzled out" in 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic.[11]
