500 copies on Blue vinyl. First time on vinyl since its original release in 2001. Following Giant Sand’s celebrated ‘Chore Of Enchantment’, ‘Confluence’ is a beatnik travelogue traversing moods and mindsets with Howe joined by a host of friends and family along for a trip that mixes spidery piano, an Elvis cover and plenty of dustbowl ambience. Pressed on colour vinyl. “A wandering troubadour in search of treasured happenstance, Howe Gelb is an enigma.” The Quietus.
