Our Take

Picture this: a giant so hungry he starts munching on his own limbs, like some twisted version of a self-cannibalistic fairytale. Now replace the giant with Glenn Jones and his guitar, and you've got "The Giant Who Ate Himself And Other New Works For 6 & 12 String Guitar."

Jones, a master of the strings, delivers a mesmerising collection of instrumental tracks that showcase his unparalleled skill and creativity. From the intricate fingerpicking on "The Last Passenger Pigeon" to the haunting melodies of "Alice," every note is played with precision and emotion.

But what sets this album apart is Jones' ability to weave a narrative through his music. Each track feels like a chapter in a larger story, with themes of loss, longing, and redemption woven throughout. It's like reading a novel without words, where the music speaks for itself.

Listeners beware: this album is not just background noise. It demands your attention, drawing you in with its intricate melodies and subtle nuances. And just when you think you've got it all figured out, Jones throws in a surprising chord change or unexpected harmony to keep you on your toes.

In conclusion, "The Giant Who Ate Himself And Other New Works For 6 & 12 String Guitar" is a triumph for Glenn Jones and a must-listen for fans of experimental folk and acoustic music. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let yourself be consumed by the mesmerising sounds of this musical giant.
