Epitaph 

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.

The ninth studio album from Calexico, The Thread That Keeps Us is a timely snapshot of the Arizona-bred band: a family portrait capturing their stylistic variety and unpredictability while still finding solace in limitless creativity. In bringing the album to life, vocalist / guitarist Joey Burns and drummer John Convertino found a spiritual home in unusual surroundings - not in Arizona, but on the Northern California coast in a home-turned-studio called the Panoramic House. Built from debris and shipyard-salvaged timber - and dubbed “The Phantom Ship” by the band - the grandiose house and its edgeof-the-world-like ambience soon made their way into the songs. The specter of California also had a powerful effect: as both dream state and nightmare, its infinite duality is mirrored in the music, giving Calexico a new direction and new edge. With less polish and more grit than ever before, The Thread That Keeps Us both honors enduring traditions and reveals Calexico’s confidence in songwriting, ultimately setting a whole new standard for the band.
