Calexico are well known as the rhythm section of desert-rockers Giant Sand and OP8. Their latest album The Black Light follows a young man’s journey from his dead-end job through the dark desert night, through sand and fire to a Mexican circus…who knows where the journey will end? Calexico’s music is like the hearing the magic of Cormac McCarthy’s Border Trilogy set to music, a journey through life on the border in the American Southwest.
