Delving into the Great American Songbook of Howe Gelb, Sandworms is a new collection that rephrases and rephases the legacy of Giant Sand across generations. This release offers bold reinterpretations from Water from Your Eyes, Deradoorian, Jesca Hoop & John Parish, Holiday Ghosts, Lily Konigsberg, Ella Raphael, Monde UFO, The Golden Dregs, and Gently Tender.
…Giant Sandworms does a reasonably good job of covering the gamut, enlisting a diverse and notably young group of artists to reimagine 13 songs recorded between 1986 and 2013. They’re predominantly Giant Sand covers, with a few solo cuts mixed in. None of the covering artists are especially intuitive — no past collaborators, no strong and obvious lines of influence.
