“Calexico are back, but this time they’re travelling all over the map.
Carried to Dust is a quietly persuasive record..” Uncut
“Sometimes Calexico is a Southwestern Dire Straits, with Joey Burns
whispering over loping, subdued guitar vamps as John Convertino plays
his drums with brushes. Or it’s a band looking toward Mexico...Or it’s a
spaghetti-western soundtrack orchestra with guitar reverb....At its best, in
songs like 'Victor Jara’s Hands,' it’s all of them at once.”

“Carried To Dust” 2008 release Vintage Calexico. Another handful of excellent songs: Victor Jara’s Hands, Writer’s Minor Holiday, Inspiration, House of Valparaiso, El Gatillo, Fractured Air. A really under rated gem in their catalog. I love this band! They are outstanding in concert. Have seen them on tour at least 7 or 8 times. America’s most important Band.
