Howe Gelb - 'The Coincidentalist' and 'Dust Bowl' - VINYL LP

This deluxe re-issue includes 'Dust Bowl' on vinyl for the very first time, with the records housed in a gatefold sleeve featuring updated artwork and liner notes. 'The Coincidentalist', originally released in 2013, features a raft of friends and collaborators including Bonnie Prince Billy, Andrew Bird, M. Ward, Steve Shelley, and Jason Lytle of Grandaddy with John Parrish on mixing duties. Ever the focal point of Giant Sand and Gelb releases, the Arizona Desert serves as a key inspiration for the record, animating the baron landscape with stories of those that have navigated them. Praise for the was not short, with AllMusic proclaiming that it's Inchone of Gelb's most realized efforts; despite it's relaxed, airy presentation, it's musically and lyrically provocative, as poetic, strange, and mysterious as the desert itself.Inch The accompanying collection 'Dust Bowl' is a personal sketchbook of songs, a more stripped back set than it's counterpart. Featuring everything from the country blues of 'Porch Banjo' and 'John Deere', to off-kilter piano ballads like 'The Old Overrated' and 'Reality Or Not' and the deconstructed desert pop on 'Forever And A Day' and the fragile 'Man On A String'. 'Dust Bowl' is an insider's view of Howe's songwriting craft, a unique insight into the man himselfA1 Vortexas (feat Bonnie 'Prince' Billy)A2 Left of CenterA3 Running BehindA4 The 3 Deaths of Lucky (feat.
