A Giant Has Nowhere To Go is a celebratory vinyl-only compilation that captures the eclectic spirit of the beloved music magazine Comes With A Smile, drawing from their sixteen cover-mounted compilation CDs released between 2000 and 2006. This diverse collection spans electronic, jazz, rock, pop, folk, world, and country genres, featuring intimate demos from Mark Eitzel (American Music Club) and Howe Gelb (Giant Sand), alongside contributions from Nina Nastasia, David Grubbs, Brokeback, and Chicago Underground Duo. The album takes its title from Mulcahy's track "Elephantine," perfectly embodying the magazine's commitment to showcasing previously unheard material from their wide array of featured artists.

This special release comes as a complete vinyl package with an LP, bonus 7" single, four-page booklet, and printed inner sleeve, making it a must-have for collectors and fans of underground music. The carefully curated selections represent the convergence between Tongue Master Records' aesthetic and CWAS magazine's editorial vision, ranging from dense literature-infused art-folk to sparse acoustic balladry and avant-garde blues. With tracks spanning raw gothic Americana, epic jazz-tinged instrumentals, and curious experimental stylings, this compilation serves as both a historical document of early 2000s alternative music and a showcase of the magazine's remarkable ability to uncover hidden gems from established and emerging artists alike.
