About
Tucson, Arizona's Calexico - featuring Giant Sand's Joey Burns (bass) and John Convertino (drums) as its core - play an eclectic mix of styles, tipping towards film composer Ennio Morricone's spaghetti westerns, '60s lounge pop, and surf instrumentals with hints of jazz and country sprinkled liberally throughout. <i>Feast of Wire</i> is their most disciplined release to date: a relaxed, subdued collection on the surface, it’s highlighted by short instrumental bursts of pedal steel, cello, synthesizers and whatever other instruments they happen to find. Burns takes a few solid turns at the mic, acting as a non-intrusive tour guide to the less-than-perfect world of "Sunken Waltz.” "Stevie Nicks" isn't quite the joke its title suggests, but rather a likeable folk song. Yet Calexico’s forte remains the instrumental ("Pepita," "Guero Canelo") where they seem to be scoring a soundtrack for a movie following outlaws around a desert where aural hallucinations haunt their dreams.
