| Nels Cline is the new guitarist for the band Wilco. After several years of touring the U.S. and Europe honing their sound, The Nels Cline Singers present their second recording, entitled The Giant Pin. While the core group consists of electric guitar, acoustic bass and drums (no singers), there are some notable guest artists on this recording, including keyboardist Jon Brion (Brad Mehldau/Fiona Apple producer) and vocalist Greg Saunier of Deerhoof. This is a mature work from the leader that Jazz Times has called "The world's most dangerous guitarist."
"More than a series of establishment challenging forays into the joy of rule-breaking, The Giant Pin accomplishes the rarest of all feats, irrespective of genre. It presents a spectrum of material that despite both its diversity and explorative nature remains thematically consistent and of unerring quality. Key to the album’s beauty is group’s willingness to expand the jazz vernacular by delving into musical—and thereby emotional—realms usually overlooked."
