REALIZE IT—First review just in from Spain's La Ruta Magazine—and it's a killer!!
"Always surprising and unfathomable Gary Lucas (Captain Beefheart, Peter Hammill, John Cale, Lou Reed, etc) presents a new single with producer and engineer David Sisko combining Gary's signature guitar riffs and lines with Sisko's deep 808 trap and relentless dancefloor beats with a result that reflects the guitar player's complexity mixing genres such as blues, rock, dance, trap and avant-garde. This single is part of his new project, "Le Beast Concrète", prelude to the album "Gargoyle" which will be released on Wednesday, August 11, 2021."

From MariskalRock.com (Spain) today:
SPOTIFY LIST "20 DUROS" BY JUAN DESTROYER
#15 – "Grace" – Gary Lucas and Jeff Buckley: "The New York guitar player looks back on his long career with the release of the double compilation album "The Essential", which comes with a substantial booklet that provides information about each track. Jeff Buckley's time with Gods and Monsters was fleeting, but the creative connection between the two bore fruit, and two of the songs they composed ended up being part of the only LP that the Californian singer released in his life. This is the one that gave it its title, and we find it on "The Essential" in a harrowing demo version."

LOS DISCOS DE MI VIDA, a new essay Gary wrote for Mondo Sonoro was just published in Spain.
"It has taken years for Gary Lucas' work to be recognized alongside artists of the caliber of Captain Beefheart and Jeff Buckley, but we should now appreciate him for his excellent material over several decades. A good part of those songs have been collected in the complete compilation "The Essential Gary Lucas" (Knitting Factory Records), a release that has served us as an excuse to invite the artist to discover which records by other artists have marked him most as a person." In this article I discuss The Incredible String Band, Skip James, Laura Nyro, Captain Beefheart, Miles Davis, and Lhasa De Sela
