Giraffe is the third full-length album by British musician Richard Warren, released under his pseudonym, Echoboy. It was released on February 10, 2003 on Mute Records in the United Kingdom and on February 25 of that year in the United States.[1] It was produced by Flood.[2]
Although Giraffe received generally favorable reviews from critics,[3] not all reviews were favorable. Michael Idov of Pitchfork Media awarded the album a rating of 4.7 out of 10, describing the album as "50 minutes of structured wankery, as performed by a lone Brit with the questionable talent to put a chorus to a verse..."[4]
