This is Grubbs’ first solo LP since 2017, though he has, in between, made records with a Ryley Walker, Taku Unami, Jan St. Werner and the Wingdale Community Singers. This one, too, is a collaborative effort, though Grubbs remains at its intellectual center, pushing the boundaries with precision, rigor and surgical cleanliness, but pushing them all the same.

Gastr del Sol :: The Aquarium Drunkard Interview
Back in April, we had the great pleasure of speaking with Jim O’Rourke and David Grubbs, two of our longtime musical heroes. Our conversation coincided with the release of Gastr del Sol’s new archival compilation, We Have Dozens of Titles, available now from Drag City Records. Over 25 years after disbanding the project in 1998, Grubbs and O’Rourke have assembled a beautifully flowing collection of previously unreleased recordings, bookended by excerpts from the duo’s performance at the Festival International Musique Actuelle Victoriaville.
