Giselle62 Apr 19, 2013 - 12:16 | RP plays a lot of Calexico---and I really don't mind at all. |
Jazbo Dec 12, 2012 - 12:42 | love Calexico....this one grabs me....8 |
zllama Apr 18, 2012 - 08:23 | I am always so grateful that RP supports Calexico. They are such a unique sound and so very dedicated to their sound and message. I like to describe their sound as what a buzzard hears as it circles above the desert floor on scroching hot updrafts. |

westslope Dec 07, 2011 - 12:27 | The voice, the angst, the starkness, the cool attitude, it all fits really well.
I have listened to this song before but this time, when I first heard the guitar, I thought Steven Wilson-Porcupine Tree. |
Shaken_Bake Nov 11, 2011 - 15:49 | But I never thought Calexico at all when I first heard this! Not that it's not brilliant! Krispian wrote: Beautiful and haunting... so very Calexico |

Lucky you. I wish they'd play in my current town (Atlanta). They don't seem to head east of the Mississippi much... |

toterola Aug 05, 2011 - 10:58 | I saw these guys open for (and play alongside) Neko Case and her band. It was an other-worldly experience. No matter how good you think Calexico is on disc, they exceed your expectations live. One of the tightest bands I've ever seen. |
Krispian Aug 03, 2011 - 11:54 | Beautiful and haunting... so very Calexico |
scrubbrush Jul 14, 2011 - 13:52 | I really, really like these guys. something about the singer's voice always draws me in |
