Giant Sand Chore of Enchantment: 25th Anniversary Edition

Giant Sand's Chore of Enchantment Reissued for Its 25th Anniversary on 2LP.

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 lineup 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 Howe Gelb's greatest songs. The high-level production by the legendary Jim Dickinson, PJ Harvey foil John Parish and acclaimed singer/songwriter/producer Kevin Salem, a tour-de-force of Gelb's unique oeuvre.

Highlighting their eclectic and esoteric career, this reissue celebrates the band's magnificent, long and winding road. This 2xLP 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.
