Dec 0823. Calexico – Carried to Dust
I’ll be honest, I only started listening to Calexico after hearing their split EP with Iron and Wine, In the Reins. Good thing, because Carried to Dust is everything I could’ve hoped “Southwestern rock” to be–expansive, meditative, surprisingly rich and (of course) melancholy. Plus lots of horns.
RIYL: Iron and Wine, Daniel Lanois, Murder by Death
