Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
All enchantment and no chore at all: if ever an album was made for proselytizing, here it is. Giant Sand's latest small wonder in a 15 year career is a high point to rival the loveliest of Mercury Rev andFlaming Lipsand the gentlest of Neil Young and Leonard Cohen. Chore Of Enchantment is a warm, subtle, supple thing; wilful and whim-filled but never self-indulgent; sonically coherent despite being shaped by no less than three legendary producers (John Parish, Jim Dickinson and Kevin Salem). Convertino's quietly inventive drums underpin a treasure chest of sounds from pedal steel and banjo to pump organ on the low-slung pulse of "Dusted", the tremelo waves of "Punishing Sun", the sound of rain washing through a Woody Guthrie-esque lullaby ("Dirty From The Rain") and the poignancy of a slide guitar instrumental ("Shrine") by late Sand collaborator Rainer Ptacek. Add in the irresistible whisper factor--the intimate voice of leader Howe Gelb and his tales of yearning and non-sequitur oozing love for "this whole wide world all leathery and fried and hung out to dry"--and some heart--soaring pop ("Shiver", "Bottom Line Man") and you have a record that deserves to trade in its best-kept-secret status forthwith. The whispering campaign starts here... --Jennifer Nine
