It feels just yesterday we heard the Giant Sand debut. It kind of was since the albums don’t have release dates, just years, they end up in the “Housekeeping” column and this time the sophomore album came up today.
Once again, this is such an assured record, just like the last one. Dark and sonically epic I am shocked that I never heard of Giant Sand until this project.
Giant Sand has more in common with Queens of the Stone Age than with virtually any band we think of as “80s”. It could be released in the mid 00s and sound of its time.
It’s not as great as the first one, but that happens so often I’m used to it.
