Calexico: Carried to Dust

John Mulvey

Calexico are based in Tucson, Arizona, and the music that seeps into their town from Mexico and beyond is a stronger influence than ever on Carried to Dust. Calexico's previous record was uncharacteristically stripped back, the band evidently concerned that their mariachi flourishes had become a cliché. But, as this sixth album proves, those flourishes are their strength. And while Feast of Wire (2003) remains Calexico's masterpiece, the detailing and scope here - Chile is frequently referenced this time - ensures that Carried to Dust is an ambitious return to form.
