The Black Light

Description

The perfect soundtrack for a summer roadtrip in an old car across Death Valley.

Calexicos musical textures are woven out of a dazzling array of instruments and styles, including mariachi trumpets, countrified pedal steel, Latin jazz percussion, and carnival organ, just to name a few. The songs move at siesta speed, casually looping and loping along, never getting overheated. Bandmates Joey Burns and John Convertino have their hands in so many musical piesincluding projects with OP8, Giant Sand, Victoria Williams, Giant Sand, and Richard Bucknerone wonders how they find the time to create the sun-soaked music of Calexico. But thank God they have. Tod Nelson
