The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

When Naked Giants formed in 2014, the Seattle trio—vocalist/guitarist Grant Mullen, bassist/vocalist Gianni Aiello and drummer Henry LaVallee—were all eighteen years old and full of the reckless, restless energy of youth. A decade later, both they and the world changed immensely. Shine Away—the band’s third full-length, following on from 2018’s SLUFF and 2020’s The Shadow — is very much an acknowledgment of that. It’s an album that doesn’t just reflect on the personal life and times of the three of them and the world at large but casts a discerning, self-reflective eye on what it’s like to be in and be Naked Giants. It’s the sound of a band coming in and becoming themselves. Of course, that’s a never-ending process, but for the first time in their career, Naked Giants are taking stock of their journey—who and what they were, are, and want to be.
