Nearly twenty-five years after disbanding, Gastr del Sol have unpacked their archive, stringing together an alternative view to their genre-melting 1993-1998 run. This assembly of previously uncollected studio recordings and beautifully captured unreleased live performances forms a spacious ode to the flux that was their métier; a further set of reinventions that continue to alter the manner in which we hear music, and literally everything else!
"Jim handled the mastering beautifully, and it’s been a fantastic experience working with him over the last couple of years on this project. In its early phases we found ourselves slogging through hours of live cassette recordings, only to have an eleventh-hour find in a Montreal archive of a CBC recording from our last concert in 1997. By and large Gastr del Sol’s music was best represented by its studio recordings, but I have to say that we’re jazzed about the selection of live material that made the cut for the album." - David Grubbs
