Simply beautiful and rather sad. Those were the days, with the guys from Calexico in the band. Of course, the video was never played on MTV. They have no room for REAL artists like Helb and his friends. Thanks muchas for posting.Greetings from El Paso!
Thanks a lot! Bought the 1st Giant Sand album sometime time in 85 and been a Gelbarite ever since...Coming from Europe its difficult to understand what the Wild West is all about...as seen in this clip...
Thanks for the heads up for the 'Chore' cd-neing ordered now! For a similar left field Brit vibe, I would recommed Arab Strap (good starter is the '10 years' cd) & poss early Belle & Sebastian
@fallenpumpkinhead these guys were owesome on stage ! saw them in the 90's 3 times back in belgium . Now, the other part of giant sand is the genius band " calexico " ...which is worth listening too ! cheers
Hey mate. You NEED to get the album this is off - Chore of Enchantment. It's absolutely mind-blowing. I've looked into a lot of their other stuff, but it's the one album that really captures that melancholic sound so beautifully.
John and Joe don't even play on this one! I believe it's some guys from Kevin Salem's crowd. IIRC Giant Sand have a new great record out 'Provisions'! Get it!
Great song. I feel ashamed to say, atho. being a big fan of indie in general (The Fall, Magazine, Wire, etc) and more recent U.S. alt-rock (Wilco, Lambchop, Sparklehorse), had never really heard any GS records. Can anyone suggest other 'greats' of theirs, albums to start with, best comp?
Any of em, but you wanna get obscure with contemporaries? Built Like Alaska, the first few M. Ward records, Virgil Shaw, Earlimart, Pine Marten, Joe Sampson, and the late, great Rainer Ptacek.
You know you don't hear music like this today makes me wish the people in my generation sung like this..real you know...
