Calexico – Algiers

Description

Release Date:09/11/2012;Notes:Vinyl LP pressing. 2012 album from the beloved Americana outfit. 22 years and 6 albums since forming as a band, Calexico presents Algiers, recognizably classic Calexico but with a style that has been revitalized and reborn by the experience of recording in New Orleans. Conscious of the clichs that can sometimes afflict acts working in a city with such a strong identity, band members Joey Burns, John Convertino and producer Craig Schumacher chose to avoid the bigger, better known studios in favor of a smaller, more intimate setting. The result of this decision is arguably the most exciting and accessible record Calexico have made.;Track List:1. Epic – 4:16;2. Splitter – 3:30;3. Sinner in the Sea – 4:14;4.
