The Desoto Caucus

'The DeSoto Caucus' is the third album from Howe Gelb affiliates, The DeSoto Caucus, and their second international release. After years of touring as part of Giant Sand, these are the impressions from the dusty trail, transformed by the native Danes into a slightly melancholic singer-songwriter based indie-rock.The initial idea of The Desoto Caucus always was to serve as a basis for playing with anyone interesting around, so they played with Lambchop's Kurt Wagner as a steady five-piece, for Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan, for Scout Niblett and Nive Nielsen's Deer Children. The album captures the band at their peak.
