Givian's self released debut LP 'Upperfriend' is sure to cuddle and confound you (depending on the size of your Heart-On for the squishy caress of Amazon Top Soil between your toes.) Arrayed in a continuous forward moving assault of sugary savagery, his reach extends from here to your favorite country's favorite space station's Bra Strap, collecting psyche hickies along the way as far reaching as early 70s British Progressive Rock, Golden Era Hip-Hop, Musique Concrete, Impressionistic Classical, Moroder Sound Track Disco, the silent roar of the MGM Lion, fossilized Drum & Bass, Prototypical Japanese Synth Pop, a Broken Heart, an Open Mind and the untranslatable conversation between the East and West Wind uttered imperceptibly through time. Now it's your job to start making folks grow Apples (within) and stop buying that Apple Sauce!! If you see the Sea, tell her Givian sent you; you'll get a front row Seat at the Official Coronation of the unborn, undying Worldbody (hubba hubba). Now available in Surprise Splash flavor!

The reviews for are already flying in! "The music on this CD has been especially written to elicit a post-millennial aesthetic and spirited chillout atmosphere, a dynamic array of multigenre tones and textures, voices, strings, synths, and melodic percussive bits looped into intricate webs of brainy but spirited interplay. Upperfriend features music that while sophisticated and full of fractal details, is perfectly suited for a day of relaxing on the beach and watching nature go by (or to listen while traveling to work and back). Even if you're a landlocked apartment dweller, take a few minutes to chill and pretend you're kicking back in your beach chair..."
