Recorded by Laura Baird and mixed by Matthew Azevedo, Glenn Jones, internationally renowned for his awesome contributions to the American Primitive music scene and his role as a founding member of experimental rock act Cul de Sac, releases ‘The Giant Who Ate Himself And Other New Works For 6 & 12 String Guitar’ on Thrill Jockey. Constructing his melodies by first locating a tone through mood or colour, Jones then correlates this into both a narrative and musical format; the songs he constructs thereby take listeners on glistening sonic expeditions, aural journeys that inform and delight audiences in a myriad of ways. Making shrewd decisions with regard to tuning, capo placement, tempo and phrasing, Jones’s work often operates within the lexicon of traditional country blues.
