Fear not, Howe Gelb is back, and is once again picking up the reins of the Giant Sand moniker for his new LP proVISIONS. Gelb's last album, the gospel heavy Sno Angel Like You was one of our favorite albums of 2006. Now with a new label home, at Yep Roc, Aquarium Drunkard phoned Gelb to discuss, among other things, the various interpretive meanings of the title of his new LP, the history of Giant Sand and the eventual Calexico offshoot, retaining one's muse, and his well known love of the Arizona desert country. Giant Sand's tour begins September 15th in Omaha, NE with Neko Case.
