Calexico - Even My Sure Things Fall Through - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

22 years and 6 albums since forming as a band, Calexico's latest album ALGIERS is recognizably classic Calexico but their style has been revitalized and reborn by the experience of recording in New Orleans. Conscious of the cliches that can sometimes afflict acts working in a city with such a strong identity, band members Joey Burns, John Convertino and producer Craig Schumacher chose to avoid the bigger, better known studios in favor of a smaller, more intimate setting. The result of this decision is arguably the most exciting and accessible record Calexico have made. Album Tracks 1. Epic 2. Splitter 3. Sinner in the Sea 4. Fortune Teller 5. Para 6. Algiers 7. Maybe on Monday 8. Puerto 9. Better and Better 10. No Te Vayas 11. Hush 12. The Vanishing Mind

There's always been intrigue and adventure at the heart of Calexico. Joey Burns and John Convertino have constantly imbued their music with an unparalleled sense of drama, calling upon the myths and iconography of the American West and it's Spanish speaking neighbor Mexico. CARRIED TO DUST represents the pinnacle of their achievement, a thrilling and moving journey through a landscape that draws upon the modern world as much as it does the decayed reminders of times past, stumbling upon unexpected delights whilst always moving forward with a pioneering sense of purpose.
