Calexico Reviews

Avg. Customer Rating:
5.0 (based on 9 reviews)

It's a not uncommon step for a rock band to take a brief detour by making a live album with an orchestra. The results are usually somewhat rewarding, and primarily valuable for serious fans. Calexico's not exactly a common rock band. Their mix of Latin styles, Americana, and indie rock have taken them to some unique musical places, and these spots have increasingly opened up as expansive vistas...

The songs "Trigger" and "Frontera" first appeared on Calexico's 1998 album, The Black Light, when the duo were still as minimalist as they were minimal. The former is a tense story-song whose impact derives from its restraint; Joey Burns delivers the tale of tragedy in a conspiratorial whisper, as though passing along gossip at a highway cantina, and John Convertino-- even then one of the most inventive drummers around-- punctuates the violence with hard hits of his splash cymbal...

Rating: Whereas Calexico's last album, Garden Ruin (2006), saw the group leaning towards more traditional rock song structures, earning rave reviews as they thrived in the simplicity, their new effort is a step backwards to the melancholic vibe of albums past. On Carried to Dust, the 6th album from the Joey Burns-led collective, the band returns to their trademark rock/country/mariachi-infused sound, with Burns singing in whispers on the majority of the tracks...

Plenty of acts make you ask questions, but the ones Calexico pose have always been fundamental to their very essence: Who exactly are they? From where does their music come? And, most importantly, what do they actually sound like? This enormous box set, eight albums spread across 12 pieces of vinyl, doesn't go any way to answering these. It offers suggestions (many, in fact), but you still have to conclude for yourself...

From the name up, fusion has always been a factor in Calexico's work, but Joey Burns and John Convertino's seventh LP really mixes up the palette. Named after the riverside New Orleans district it was recorded in, the album is soaked through with the city's funereal musical heritage. The results are beguiling, if not altogether instantly attention-grabbing...

There's a video for "Splitter" shot at the converted church near New Orleans where Calexico made Algiers. Joey Burns stands in front of an open doorway, the Crescent City Connection bridge just visible over his shoulder as he starts the song. He twitches out a one-note riff on his guitar, crooning in a spectral, cool tenor that has always seemed at odds with Calexico's sweaty aesthetic. (It's like water in the desert...

Over the course of their career, Calexico have always been able to create meticulously detailed worlds for their songs to inhabit. It seems as though drawn out steel guitar notes and mournful tones of trumpets and accordions can develop into entire landscapes in their hands...

¡Qué lástima! After years of piquing the interest of culturally diverse audiences with their border-bending blend of alt-country and mariachi music, Calexico have put away the pico de gallo. Now, centrifugal forces Joey Burns and John Convertino are back to their earlier style of introspective, haunting acoustic strains. For Algiers, they ventured to--no, not Algeria, but rather New Orleans, where there is a neighborhood by that name...

New Orleans has a complex relationship with water. Not long after he arrived there, the Greek-Irish writer Lafcadio Hearn wrote of the city's "phenomenal" dampness: "It descends from the clouds and arises from the soil simultaneously; it exudes from wood-work; it perspires from stone..." Fed by and feeding that moisture are the infinite gallons of water that threaten to flood in from the surrounding lakes and over the banks of the Mississippi - the river that is also the city's lifeblood...
