As usual I’m always a little late to listen to a lot of great stuff. Luckily though, I didn’t miss the latest Calexico record Garden Ruin. Hailing from Tuscon, AZ, the band manages to capture the “high lonesome sound” of their home state. Sometimes a whisper and sometimes a roar; the music is mesmerizing and darkly melodic. It is out now on Quarterstick Records.
Put succinctly, ‘Garden Ruin’ is where Calexico fill those dusty, empty landscapes they documented with a big, big sound…

i’ve heard people call this new one too mainstream, but i must say i’m quite enjoying it. Love panic open string, bisbee blue (especially since i’ve been to bisbee) and plenty of the other good ones
