‘Sno Angel Winging It
is a music documentary which follows the collaboration of alt-country
troubadour Howe Gelb, his band and Voices of Praise gospel choir.
Filmed in the UK, Spain and Canada over 2 years by Maria Mochnacz
(film-maker, PJ Harvey – On Tour: Please Leave Quietly (2006)), it
shows the coming together and subsequent recording session and tour of
musicians from very different backgrounds. In the words of choir
director Steve Johnston, “Taking a gospel choir, with what we stand for
– our beliefs, out on the road with a rock and roll band; you have
absolutely no idea what to expect!” They released a studio album ‘Sno Angel Like You in 2006 and will be releasing a live album with a DVD of this film, later this year.
rock documentaries suck.
this one is no different, except maybe, cause it was left in the
talented hands of maria mochnaz (who shot and assembled the live p.j.
harvey DVD) and follows the impossible notion of attaching an entire
choir to the crinkle of desire to acquire. it works if you want it too.
soothing, like reaffirming creme. loose, like cluster muck. the
reliving is relieving and revealing. probably doesn’t suck at all.

Experimental Americana pioneer Howe Gelb to release new Giant Sand album, proVISIONS, September 2Tucson, Arizona-based musician Howe Gelb will release the first Giant Sand album in nearly four years proVISIONS on September 2, 2008. The work will feature friends such as Isobell Campbell, Neko Case and M. Ward. "Giant Sand is a mood," says Howe Gelb. The creative force behind the extended family that has comprised Giant Sand over the years, speaks of "yippity and happenstance" that arise to inspire the soundscape that is Giant Sand. The musical family tree of the Tucson, AZ group is long and illustrious, beginning in 1980 as The Giant Sandworms and later spawning bands like Calexico, The Friends of Dean Martinez and OP8. Howe Gelb has steadily amassed a prolific catalog of Giant Sand and solo material that spans the wealth of southwestern roots and lo-fi. Thick with musings scattered by desert winds, and soaked with eroding guitars and dusty piano, proVISIONS sonically explores love and loss in the socio-political climate of the modern world. This incarnation of Giant Sand is comprised of Gelb, Danish musicians Thoger T. Lund (bass), Peter Dombernowsky (drums) and Anders Pedersen (slide guitar). It features talented friends/collaborators such as Neko Case, M. Ward, Isobell Campbell, Henriette Sennenvaldt, Lucie Idlout and Lonna Kelley. A creeping cruise down a dark desert highway, these proVISIONS provide for the furthering ride of Giant Sand's completely unique sonic legacy.
