You Are All My People

Meeting at a Silos gig in New Orleans, and bound by mutual admiration for the other's craft and life's work, acclaimed novelist Jonathan Lethem and genre-bending bandleader Walter Salas-Humara of the Silos adventurously set out to pen some songs together. Within a short two day span, they had crafted an entire album's worth of material. They then doubled their collective from two members, to four, by enlisting the musicianship and production prowess of the Elegant Too, who took the rudiments of each song and enveloped them within a completely new musical and sonic context. The results are staggering.
