City Slang

Calexico is an American band from Tucson, Arizona that has been making music since 1996. The band was formed by Joey Burns and John Convertino, who had previously played together in the band Giant Sand. Calexico has toured and performed at various festivals, including the Montreux and North Sea Jazz Festivals. They have also collaborated with artists such as Neko Case, Victoria Williams, and Richard Buckner. The band's sound has evolved over time, with a revolving cast of musicians and instruments contributing to their varied releases.

The name "Calexico" comes from the city of Calexico, California, which is located on the border between California and Mexico.

Experience the unique blend of musical styles and influences that Calexico brings to their music. From their early collaborations with Giant Sand to their diverse discography, this American band continues to captivate audiences with their evolving sound.

City Slang is an independent German label founded by Christof Ellinghaus. Renowned for its eclectic roster, the label encompasses everything from rock to post-rock and electronic music.

With a diverse range of artists, City Slang has become known for its unique and innovative approach to music. From established acts to emerging talent, the label consistently delivers high-quality releases that push boundaries and defy genre conventions.

As a leading force in the industry, City Slang has been instrumental in shaping the sound of contemporary music. With their distinctive style and commitment to artistic integrity, they have garnered a loyal following of music enthusiasts worldwide.

For the better part of two decades, the acclaimed band Calexico has crossed musical barriers, embracing a multitude of styles, variety in instrumentation, and well-cultivated signature sounds. With their latest record 'Edge of the Sun', via City Slang, they take inspiration from a trip to a place surprisingly unexplored by the band before in Mexico City, and with the benefit of many friends and comrades to help guide the way. Encouraged by the experience, the guest list grew to include Ben Bridwell (Band of Horses), Nick Urata (Devotchka), Carla Morrison, Gaby Moreno, Amparo Sanchez, multi-instrumentalists from the Greek band Takim, and Neko Case. Burnsʼ brother John Burns lent a hand to some lyrics and songwriting, and the bandʼs keyboardist, Sergio Mendoza, stepped up to co-write and arrange certain songs, ultimately co-producing the album along with Burns, John Convertino, and longtime associate Craig Schumacher.
