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][9] The band's second album, Volume 2, was released on March 29, 2019.[10]
Novoselic, Raye, and Johnson formed the supergroup 3rd Secret in 2022, alongside Soundgarden's Matt Cameron and Kim Thayil and Void's Bubba Dupree.[11]
Novoselic stated in an essay in 2023, that the band "fizzled out" in 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic.[12]
