1000 only. "A wandering troubadour in search of treasured happenstance, Howe Gelb is an enigma." The Quietus // Long out of print, Howe Gelb' s debut solo album ' Dreaded Brown Recluse' is re-imagined on for Record Store Day on brown vinyl. Back then, circa 1991 Howe' s main squeeze Giant Sand were nothing short of prolific, songs were oozing from every pore, their creative id was effervescing, overflowing. With Giant Sand' s colossal new album of ' 91 ' Ramp' imminent what to do with those further outpourings? An idea: Disguise the band as Howe Gelb solo and produce a song cycle that, on repeat, melds into an eclectic stew that' s easy to dip in and out of but still remains potent several hours in the oven. It' s music as soundtrack to your day, a playful, anarchic piece of situationism that unfolds like all the best dramatic prose. ' Dreaded Brown Recluse' includes a rethunk ' Warm Storm' with strings (it also appeared on ' Ramp' ). It also features songs about faxing (how quaint), blankets and the insect world, as it straddles territory lost somewhere between psychotic ramshackle punk and slimmed down acoustic reverie.
