Heartbreak pass

"Heartbreak Pass is, like much of Howe Gelb's best work, an ambitious project that still seems emotionally intimate, and revels in a ramshackle charm that belies how strong the elements truly are - it's one man's unique vision, and if he's proud of it, well, he certainly should be".

"Howe Gelb's questing collective mark 30 years of inimitable wanderings with a peripatetic set recorded all over the world, finding space for every style the legendarily multifaceted group have thus far explored ... It's testimony to the current health of [Gelb's] muse that "Heartbreak Pass", while containing only new songs, feels like a greatest hits and as such is a perfect entry point for Giant Sand neophytes".
