Alt-country luminaries Giant Sand are celebrating the 30th anniversary of their 1985 debut, Valley of Rain, with a brand-new album, Heartbreak Pass.
“There are three volumes of 15 songs here representing living two lives for 30 years,” said Giant Sand frontman and co-founder Howe Gelb. “Don’t do the math. It doesn’t figure.”
“The first volume is a loud and lucky abandon, as if there’s no choice,” he continued. “The second volume is more heady, steady and direct, what they call Americana these days. The third volume is the heart in constant turmoil from the effect of crossing the pond way too often, the blessed curse of the indie transponder.”
Gelb also said that Heartbreak Pass was an international effort, with parts of the album made all over the world. “It first sprouted in Brussels,” he said. “Some strings attached in Crete … a choir acquired in Canada… a wall of sound in Berlin … then a little noodling in Italy … and a dash in Nashville… a vocal quotient in Croatia… a couple linnets in it in Holland … Jason’s portal in Portland … the rest slowly simmered in Tucson… and the whole thing was mixed in one place … bristling in Bristol.”
