Giant Sand – Blurry Blue Mountain LP Online Sale

Recorded 25 years into their career, Giant Sand s 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, it s a gentle rollercoaster traversing the inner thinking of the why s 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 it s obvious there s only so much time left – that has a production value all it s own. Highlighting their eclectic and esoteric career, this reissue celebrates the band s magnificent, long and winding career. This deluxe reissue features restored artwork and newly penned liner notes from MOJO s 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 he s 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.
