Recorded 25 years into their career (2010), Giant Sands 25th album is a gorgeous and much-celebrated collection of perfectly-crafted, personal songwriting from Howe Gelb. With the exception of one or two wonderfully abrupt and perfectly placed outbursts, its a gentle rollercoaster traversing the inner thinking of the whys and wherefores of whatever, a meditation on time and the ageing process.
Musing on the record, Howe Gelb explains On this LP I show off an acquired appreciation for the simple lyric. Kinda haiku at times, like flamenco verse, or the blues. I can focus more as its obvious theres only so much time left that has a production value all its own. Highlighting their eclectic and esoteric career, this reissue celebrates the bands magnificent, long and winding career. This deluxe reissue features restored artwork and newly penned liner notes from MOJOs Dave Henderson.
Giant Sand have been the primary outlet for the stylistic curveballs and sun-damaged songcraft of singer-songwriter Howe Gelb. In four plus decades hes managed to reinvent rock, country, blues, punk, garage, lo-fi, jazz, gospel, avant-garde noise and flamenco gypsy music with his impressionistic imagery and expansive observations of the world.
