Calexico's New Album: "Carried To Dust"
On Sept. 9, Calexico drops its new album "Carried To Dust" on Quarterstick Records. Most of the album was born out of collaborative sessions with the stellar lineup used on 2003's "Feast of Wire" -- Joey Burns, John Convertino, Jacob Valenzuela, Martin Wenk, Paul Niehaus and Volker Zander. Sam Beam of Iron and Wine guests as well.
Below is a video trailer for the new album ... the music sounds gorgeous as usual -- each instrument seems to resonate with an aching beauty that attests to Burns and Convertino's prowess, not only composers, but as fluent record producers. These guys just flat out know how to make great-sounding records.
