Center of the Universe

by Giant Sand

Center of the Universe cover art

Howe Gelb's perpetually evolving collective delivers a loose, remarkably eclectic fusion of desert-fried Americana and distorted 90s alternative rock. The freewheeling, often improvised-sounding arrangements prominently feature future Calexico members Joey Burns and John Convertino, capturing the dusty, wildly creative essence of the Tucson indie underground.
