April 19 street date. 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. Recorded 25 years into their career, Giant Sand's 25th album, 2010's "Blurry Blue Mountain", is a gorgeous and much-celebrated collection of perfectly-crafted, personal songwriting from 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 aging process. This deluxe reissue features restored artwork and newly penned liner notes from MOJO's Dave Henderson.

We are celebrating 25 years since the release of Giant Sand's legendary ‘Chore Of Enchantment’, the panoramic masterpiece that was the turning point for the classic line-up featuring seasoned songwriter Howe Gelb and latter-day Calexico members Joey Burns and John Convertino from 1999. Filled with mind-bending one-liners, customary offbeat instrumentation, echo fields and hazy horizons; ‘The Chore Of Enchantment’ is a songbook of Gelb's greatest songs. Highlighting their eclectic and esoteric career, this reissue celebrates the band's magnificent, long and winding career. This 2LP deluxe reissue features restored artwork and newly penned liner notes from MOJO's Dave Henderson.
