| Feast Of Wire CD (2003)
$12.85 
Calexico streamlined its eclectic sound a bit on this 2003 release, adding a pop sensibility to the band's already-exciting mixture of Latin-tinged Southwestern twang and jazzy, atmospheric sophistication. Most notably, FEAST OF WIRE features more of multi-instrumentalist Joey Burns's voice ...

| Garden Ruin CD (2006) Digipak
$12.79
Calexico's sound, which falls somewhere between film music, surf rock, mariachi, jazz, and alt-country, has always been difficult to classify, but whereas many bands of Calexico's indie standing would push further into esoterica, Calexico move more into the mainstream on ...

Nortec Collective
Tijuana Sessions Vol. 3 CD (2005)

Calexico Biography
Born out of the axis of Arizona bands that revolved around seminal desert-rock group Giant Sand, Calexico debuted in the mid-1990s with a unique sound that mixed mariachi horns, alt-country, spaghetti-western themes, and the wide-open-spaces vibe of their environs. Amid a revolving door of players, the core of the group is multi-instrumentalists/songwriters John Convertino and Joey Burns, who manage to make rootsy, organic music that's consistently inventive and forward-looking.
