BIO

Shrink the Giant is a playful yet thoughtful group of multi-instrumentalists Stefania Barr, Sebastian Barr, Jean-Christian Barr, Morgan Handley, and Alec Lowe. They draw inspiration from a broad spectrum of influences and centuries, ranging from Bowie to Beck, Talking Heads to Paramore, CPE Bach to Cage the Elephant.

 

The band originally formed in a town with only two stoplights, in rural Utah. As only teens, they wrote and recorded their 2012 debut album in a bedroom studio on an overheating laptop, reusing the same bag of frozen brussels sprouts to keep the CPU cool. Following their first release, the band’s development distilled over a decade of touring, the independent recording and release of their second album “Faceless,” private house shows, corporate events, busking, busking and more busking, resulting in the well-seasoned five-piece ensemble that exists today.

 

April 17th, 2025, the band released the first of their new run of singles, "Tick Talk," with a thrilling high-concept music video directed by lead singer Stefania Barr. The track immediately garnered local and worldwide attention, FM radio playtime, and daily growing views on YouTube. The second of their new singles, "My Demands," dropped on May 29th, dripping in attitude, groove, and a shimmering performance video to match.The band is thrilled to release their next upcoming singles to their growing audience, with a third full length record to come.
