Calexico: Garden Ruin

Apologies. I'm feeling lazy and thinking I'll make this short and sweet.

Calexcio is a band that I was recently introduced to by my roomate. To put it bluntly, their fucking awesome. Joey Burns and John Convertino have put together a group that has put 4 amazing albums, on of which is a collaboration with another new favorite of mine, Iron and Wine.

I've been invited to attend a concert soon (hopefully) and I am really looking forward to it. It's been about 3 years since Calexico released their previous album, Feast of Wire. After extensive touring and building a rep for one of the most musically entertaining live show you can attend these days, Theey are back with a brand new album entitled Garden ruin

Here's a few snippets from their catalogue:
Cruel
Sunken Waltz (my Favorite)
Minas De Cobre (For Better Metal)
