It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Calexico energies, virtually a rebirth. It has been one years Calexico’ last studio CD, “Travelall” which won Array Academy Awards� and was nominated for album of the year. one years ago, Calexico briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Fine Patina”. Travelall is preety good and all the songs have a good meaning behind them.
defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone.
Fine Patina which is my favorite is a truly Calexico sounding song. This song is very powerful, its catchy melody will have you singing along in no time. Cachaba - I like this one. Driving To Get Away - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. Comes With A Smile is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses. I hope to keep hearing Calexico works for a long time to come. Calexico rocks harder than ever with Piker Sam. The song feels complete.
