Calexico - The Black Light

Quarterstick / City Slang 72438 459002 4. 1998


The laid-back tex-mex cinematic soundtrack to a sultry summer's eve.

Sounding in places like a mexican border lounge band, the odd snippet from a David Lynch soundtrack, a low down lamenting love song here, full-on celebratory mariachi there. It mostly slinks along at a relaxed pace, only briefly galloping through a number to the next border checkpoint.

Mighty fine Calexico.
