Grandiose and silent stories from the desert

How does the desert southwest of the USA? Calexico give her new, eighth album "Edge Of The Sun" again an answer to this question. The group, led by core members Joey Burns and John Convertino has its cinematic Tex-Mex Mood mix again refined and enriched by other influences.

So far, the votes are split: Find a "Edge Of The Sun" sophisticated and perfect - and therefore rather smooth. Others say, this album is an absolute masterpiece of Calexico so far. As you look at it - it's a terrific ride through familiar sounds. In combination with the clever lyrics they make wanderlust.

"Edge Of The Sun" is still mainly Mexican, as Calexico already sounded. A year ago, in April 2014 Burns and Convertino proceeded to Coyoacán - a neighborhood on the southern edge of Mexico City, which looks back on a long tradition of artists' quarter. They wanted to collect once the ideas for her new album on location in Mexico, after all, they are already for two decades for a mix of folk, country, mariachi music, rock and jazz. The place of their inspiration, they appreciate the album with the instrumental song "Coyoacán".

The special feature of "Edge Of The Sun" are the many guest artists: Sam Beam, Amparo Sanchez and Neko Case are already among the regulars. New here are Ben Bridwell, Nick Urata, Gaby Moreno and Carla Morrison and multi-instrumentalist of the Greek band Takim. Especially the musicians of Takim provide new wort with violin and instruments qanun and oud.

With the help of guests Calexico unfold on "Edge Of The Sun" their catchy and yet very unique mythology of the desert sound. The album brings together diverse influences and is extremely varied. At the same time it has cohesion, provides a successful combination. Each song developed its own strength and their own history - through the text, but mainly by the lot of music. Together, the songs form a journey in which we accompany Calexico.

"Edge Of The Sun" by Calexico is great cinema again. A feast for fans and those who want to be there.
