Of Giant Sand Gelb says “Giant Sand is a mood,”. The creative force behind the extended family that has comprised Giant Sand over the years, he speaks of happy accidents and musical auras that arise the soundscape that is Giant Sands.
Howe Gelb started out on his musical journeys some time in the late 70’s and has since amassed a catalogue of 40+ albums under the monikers of Giant Sand, OP8, The Band Of Blacky Ranchette, Arizona Amp and Alternator and of course, Howe Gelb. The roll call of artists who have contributed and collaborated with Howe over the years reads like a who’s who of alt-country/indie heaven – Joey Burns and John Covertino (of Calexico), Chan Marshall (Catpower), Kristin Hersh, M. Ward, Lucinda Williams, Scout Niblett, Jeremy Gara (Arcade Fire), Neko Case, Vic Chesnutt, John Parish, Granddaddy, Kurt Wagner (Lambchop).. the list goes on…
Howe Gelb returns to Australia in 2008 for dates in October and November to promote Giant Sand’s new album proVISIONS. proVISIONS is cinematic Americana at its most aching, an album of tremolo soaked guitars, moody piano and secrets whispered over desert winds. A creeping cruise down a dark desert highway, these Provisions provide for the furthering ride of Giant Sand’s completely unique musical legacy.
