Celebrating 25 years since the release of Giant Sands legendary Chore Of Enchantment, the panoramic masterpiece that was the turning point for the classic line-up featuring seasoned songwriter Howe Gelb and latter-day Calexico members Joey Burns and John Convertino from 1999.

Filled with mind-bending one-liners, customary offbeat instrumentation, echo fields and hazy horizons; The Chore Of Enchantment is a songbook of Howe Gelbs greatest songs. The high level production by the legendary Jim Dickinson, PJ Harvey foil John Parish and acclaimed singer/songwriter/producer Kevin Salem, a tour-de-force of Gelbs unique oeuvre.

Highlighting their eclectic and esoteric career, this reissue celebrates the bands magnificent, long and winding career. This 2xLP deluxe reissue features restored artwork and newly penned liner notes from MOJOs Dave Henderson.

A beautiful, emotionally complex album.
– The Quietus.

Giant Sand have been the primary outlet for the stylistic curveballs and sun-damaged songcraft of singer-songwriter Howe Gelb. In four plus decades hes managed to reinvent rock, country, blues, punk, garage, lo-fi, jazz, gospel, avant-garde noise and flamenco gypsy music with his impressionistic imagery and expansive observations of the world.
