Calexico "Live at White Stage, Roskilde Festival" 2000

Fittingly named after a town on the border of California and Mexico, Calexico fuse the dusty sounds of the American Southwest with spaghetti western soundtracks, cool jazz, and a broad spectrum of Latin influences...
...Early on, the group delivered this mix of musical approaches and cultural perspectives with theatrical flair, as on 1998's The Black Light. Gradually, their style became more nuanced, with 2003's Feast of Wire and 2006's Garden Ruin venturing into more straightforward songwriting and 2010's Algiers folding New Orleans traditions into their music seamlessly. Calexico's knack for capturing the sound and feel of a place continued to shine on albums as distinct as 2015's Mexico City dispatch The Edge of the Sun and 2022's El Mirador, a heartfelt tribute to the sounds and people that make up the band's roots. - by Mark Deming
