We Have Dozens Of Titles | 3Lp Set

Like a bolt echoing back from the blue, We Have Dozens of Titles restrikes the iron of Gastr del Sol, plunging the listener (that's us!) back into the mael- strom of their all-too-brief (-but-ultimate- ly-long-enough-to-change-everything-in- cisively) passage of 1993-1998 via an assembly of previously uncollected studio recordings and beautifully captured unre- leased live material. Gastr del Sol's music was of the trans- formative variety - or was it transfiguration they were up to? Or transmigration? Flux was key, to be sure. David Grubbs formed Gastr from the final lineup of Bastro; on Gastr del Sol's debut, The Serpentine Similar, Grubbs, Bundy K. Brown and John McEntire downshifted from a thrashing electric outfit into a droning, acoustic-based one. Following this, the lineup shifted again, decisively - Brown and McEntire departed to focus on the project to be known as Tor- toise, and Jim O'Rourke arrived, pairing with Grubbs to make a sequence of unpre- dictable leaps across genre and practical approach alike, over three LPs and a pair of EPs that threatened the passage of musical time as we knew it in the mid-90s. We Have Dozens of Titles contains nearly an hour of previously unreleased live recordings, alongside another near-hour of studio recordings culled from previously uncollected singles, EPs, and compilations. At long last, vinyl purchasers will hear the full range of 'The Harp Factory on Lake Street,' 'Dead Cats in a Foghorn,' 'Quietly Approach- ing,'
