In 1996, Joey Burns and John Convertino formed Calexico as a side project to pursue while they had time off from Giant Sand. Calexico eventually grew into a full-time pursuit, recording and releasing multiple excellent full-length albums and EP’s for Quarterstick Records. Originally released in 2003, “Feast Of Wire” is their fourth album, and it is a masterpiece of remarkable beauty and diversity. Each song presents a new and evocative vision for the listener, deftly playing across genre lines with startling virtuosity. Calexico seems to be a band capable of going any direction, and they possess the skill and confidence to make the turns sound easy. “Feast Of Wire” shows a great band firing on all cylinders, from concept to creation to execution. This new edition of “Feast Of Wire” is remastered at 45rpm and the two LP set features the bonus track “Alone Again Or”.
