Graven Image was the first Jandek CD (originally released in 1994) and when it went out of print a couple years ago, a whole legion of loafers freaked out and jumped into an extended Ebay clikathon. But now it's back, thanks to Corwood's relentless pursuit of availabity. Jandek is an obscured Texan who has been privately releasing beautiful documents of fractured, internalized song de-con, since the very late 70s. There have been no tours, no interviews, no public appearances but the representation of individualistic creation has never been more perfectly rendered than via the Corwood discography. Utilizing guitars (one at time, both acoustic or electric), voice and percussion, this is music from the ultimate void -- vaguely related to genres like folk, blues and avant-garde, but in the end it can only be the sound of Jandek. And there's never been anything else quite like it. There were 22 LPs released by Corwood in the LP era (all reissued on CD now). With Graven Image Corwood moved into the CD era for the first time. Haunting, eternal genius, continued.
